We are all thankful for a mostly seamless travel day to Guatemala. The large group of 38 from Michigan made it without a hiccup, while the lone traveler from Dallas (who has never left U.S. soil) somehow managed to encounter every flight delay known to man. But in the end, everyone made it safe and sound.
It was only a 20 minute commute to our villages, which was a blessing in itself. The views have been breathtaking, especially so for our first-timers who were not aware of the beauty of this country. What has been even more breathtaking is the smiles of the children we have been blessed enough to spend time with. Our group of 39 total split up into three groups to build homes in different places throughout the village. There was plenty of people on job sites building, which left ample opportunity for others to building meaningful relationships and connections with the families.
In the afternoon after lunch, a small group broke off of the building sites to help with VBS at a local church. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of children who were there that we were able to share the story of Noah with. After the story was shared by Josh, a local Guatemalan, a take-home craft was done with the kids to remind them of the rainbow and it's symbolism for God's promise. What followed VBS was what might have been the most epic street soccer game ever played, complete with roadblocks for traffic!
The group is blessed to have a Vet along with us, who's expertise was direly needed to relieve a puppy from pain due to a wire collar. This puppy then managed to melt the hearts of the whole team, but especially Aly's, who could've very easily brought the dog back to the mission house to make him the official mascot.
Ended a great day with a full belly, thanks to a pair of wonderful kitchen staff and the world's best coffee. Looking forward to what God has in store for the rest of the week and the connections we have made and are going to make.

I never knew people still have powers and could make things happened. My husband left me for another woman three months ago and ever since then my life have been filled with pains sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom i have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spell caster called Dr.Ogudugu that he can bring back lover within two days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great priest on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 2 days my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it highly unbelievable. Thank you Dr.Ogudugu for bringing back my lover and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for anyone who might need the help of this great priest here is his email address: greatogudugu@gmail.com/WhatsApp +2348063739701
ReplyDeleteI just got my ex husband back through the help of Dr OSOFO love spells Experts!..My husband left me for another woman, This was just 2 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster call Dr OSOFO and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 9 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy andent to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to man, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.OSOFO for help now..Here his contact, WhatsApp him: +2349065749952 {or} Email him at: ( osofo.48hoursolutioncenter@gmail.com )
