Our summer in Guatemala has come to an end! It has flown by, and we are still trying to reflect on everything the Lord has done throughout the summer. The last week was unique but I wanted to share a few photos and videos to recap some events.
A group from Tennessee helped us serve hot dogs at the El Tejar dump. The people loved them and they were able to have seconds! We were also able to give small food bags to each family. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of building a relationship with the people. There has only been one older lady to openly profess her Christian faith. We are praying that they will all become followers of Christ
The mothers from the feeding center had me a surprise baby shower! It was very thoughtful of them as they provided words of encouragement, played games, and ate crepes! One game was “guessing” the correct measurement of my baby bump. They all thought I was way bigger than I actually am! It was a very humbling experience for me and Soy.
The children from the Feeding Center plus Lizzi and Sydney!
The kids enjoying their spaghetti lunch!
They made a pinanta for Haley Ray in order to celebrate her help at the Feeding Center. She had very mixed feelings about it because they all took turns hitting the pinata and screaming “Hit Haley!” LOL!
These are some short videos of the mothers expressing their gratitude. Their gratitude is towards every person who has served, given financially, and prayed for the people of Guatemala. Your burden for the lost and your desire to meet physical needs is not taken for granted. They are truly grateful!
Here is the link to Haley Ray’s blog. She was such a blessing this summer. I think it is definitely worth reading.
