Sunday

Greetings from Guatemala, After a brief time of prayer to start the day, we left the mission house for our “ off “ day. We loaded up into the 3 vans and headed to a nature preserve by Lake Atitlan. Other than the amazing scenery, the preserve offers a world-class zip line which many people enjoyed. After a brief ( and always delicious ) lunch, we made a brief trip into the village of Panajachel for a couple hours of shopping in the village market. What incredible and beautiful things the villagers make! They have an amazing amount of color and pride in their work and that can be seen in almost all things that were purchased today. To end the trip, we were treated to an authentic Guatemalan meal. The food was sensational and we were treated with wonderful hospitality. Back at the mission house, we closed the day with singing and a time of devotions. We were challenged to confront how pride is personally keeping each of us from serving and enjoying God and each other. What great things can the Holy Spirit accomplish through us – both here in Guatemala and everywhere we are- when we put ourselves aside and strive to be more like Jesus. We all have much to look forward to with this in mind! Thanks for all your continued prayers. Adam and Autumn Jager
