I came to bless but I have been blessed. I came to serve, but I have been served.
I have been blown away time and time again by Guatemalans. They are so hospitable, loving, warm, kind, patient and happy. The people I met have touched me deeply and I will forever remember them and the wonderful experience I have had here.
I have loved staying with Graham and Betty. Their kindness and work for the Lord has encouraged and inspired me tremendously.
I spent Sunday afternoon with some friends after church and we headed back to my house about 6.30pm. There were a few cars parked outside but still nothing clicked. We walked into the living room and sat down and THEN I looked over and saw some other friends crouched down behind the table. They threw me my first ever surprise party! It was so fun and special to have so many people that I loved in one room that night. I cannot say how much I love them!
Above all I thank my heavenly Father for this amazing blessed opportunity to come to Guatemala. I know its not a everyday thing. I am thankful how everything came together to get here, for the people I met, the lessons I learnt, my safety, and the continuous love, mercy, forgiveness and joy that I received and continue to receive.
Thank you to all those that have supported me on this adventure through prayer, encouraging emails, skype calls, friendship and love. Muchas, muchas, gracias xx
Friends at the last supper |
