Heres an overview:)

It’s our last week of ministry here! Time has flown by and I will be very sad to leave here! But since I haven’t written in a couple of weeks, I’ll just go over some of the thing we have done. We went back to the dump! While we were there, my team mate Tabitha and I went through the trash with one of the men we met. What an experience! We scrimmaged through dirty diapers, rotting food infested with maggots, and TONS of other smelly trash to find plastic bottles and aluminum cans. It was one of my favorite moments on the trip and a very humbling one too. I won’t be complaining about any of the jobs I have to do for awhile! I was also able to give the vitamins to the pregnant woman that I met the first time.  We gave rice and beans to the dump families and boots to some of the kids. We even had a little piñata party for the children. What a blessing it was to truly serve “the least of these”. We also did many prayer walks through the markets where we got to pray with a lot of the venders and other people, including two Guatemalan soldiers and one police officer. Its not uncommon to see homeless people near the market, so my group and I were able to provide a meal to a few of the homeless people that we met throughout our prayer walks. We’ve continued to bring flowers and chocolates to the prostitutes. My team mate Laura and I were able to pray with and encourage a man who provided free condoms to the working women there. A prayer request was answered when a group of us was allowed into a night club that we had been forbidden in since the beginning of the trip. My team mate Sarah was able to give a bible to one of the prostitutes who recently said that she reads it to her kids every night before she goes to work. What a blessing it has been to serve here. God has truly used this team to plant seeds in many of the Guatemalans hearts. In September, another group of collage aged people are coming to this same place for four months. I’m excited to see how God will use them to water the seeds that He has allowed us to plant. I ask that you join me in prayer for the next coming team! Thanks <3
