Hello everyone! So many things have happened here since my last blog post. We have been officially on the World Race for a month already, and we are coming up on living in Guatemala for a month! I just wanted to give you all a little recap of what we have been doing! Here are a couple core memories so far:
Got to preach to this village, was our first time in the villages!
Visited two villages and talked about the importance of reading/listening to the Bible. These villages were blessed to be given a device that plays the New Testament for them, so we wanted to make sure they were doing okay with the devices.
Got to teach Sunday school teachers how to teach their little ones how to pray. It was amazing to see so many teachers from different villages and just to picture the relationship going to be formed between each child and the Lord.
Super fun experience! Our host stopped on the side of the road, took out a megaphone from his trunk, gave us a microphone and we preached about salvation. It was nerve-wracking at first, but as each person went up, and the echos grew, I knew peoples hearts were being touched.
This was a good day! We fasted in the morning and drove up to the mountain to pray with several pastors from surrounding villages. Then we preached on the side of the mountain. God was definitely stirring things up this day. We also got to stop and take some photos of this gorgeous view.
My gorgeous girls!! Gloria a Dios!!
These past weeks have been a blessing when we have gone up to the villages. These have all been new experiences and God is so evident each time one of us have spoken to the village people or poured into each other as a team. Chicaman has been a lovely place to call home. We have found a good rhythm to living here and have formed really good relationships with the locals.
I am so excited to see how the Lord blesses the rest of our time here. I also am so close to being fully funded! I only need about $2,000 left to reach, so if you would like to give I would appreciate it so much!! Love y’all y Dios les bendiga!!
Coming up in next blog… Here is a little snippet… Stay tuned…

Love the pics, love the updates, you guys are killing it as you are about your father‘s business in the overripe white harvest fields of rural Guatemala. Jesus said, “do not prevent the little children from coming to me, for such is the kingdom of God. “You are sowing seeds in the rich Guatemalan soil of these villages in God is going to cause it to spring fourth in bear fruit. 30, 60, 100 fold. your love for these kids in those passerby‘s who are catching the preaching of the gospel along the roadside are loved by the father son and Holy Spirit millions of times more than you could ever possibly love them and wishes that none should perish but that all should come to repentance. So know that your labor is never in vain in the Lord. Such a great update. Be seeing you soon sister
