It has been almost a month since my return from Guatemala, and it has bittersweet being back. By bittersweet, what I mean is that my heart is still there. My body may be back, but my heart is completely there with the people of Guatemala. It aches quite often and I can’t do anything about it. What I can do is just pray in those moments for the people who have touched my heart in so many ways!
This trip was another blessed trip to Hope of Life in Zacapa, Guatemala. Most know that I was there back in March with another team. If you asked me right after the trip, I would have never guessed that I would be back there just exactly five months later in August. All I knew was that I would be going back and was hoping it would be soon. When people asked me when I would go, I told them, “As soon as I can!” I really felt like God is calling me back there.
About a month passed when a friend told me that she was going to take a group, to Guatemala! She asked me if I would join, and I agreed right away knowing that this was God’s answer to my question of “when.” God was working in my friends’ heart after telling her about all that God was and is doing in Guatemala. It was amazing to see how God has opened her heart for a country, she has never been too.
The team consisted of people who were close to me. I was excited that I was able to share this next trip with those who are the closest to me! I knew that God was going to be doing huge things through this trip and huge things in their life.

| Our team :) |
We got to be part of a lot of incredible things that includes feet washing/Toms distributions, giving out food bags to families, feeding at the dump, baby rescue, spending time with the orphans, among many other things. I will try to share all that we did with posts to come. I pray it will encourage you and open your hearts. God bless, until the next time! :)
