GUATEMALA 2010

Hello friends I'm in Guatemala Right now, and our team just got back fron San Pedro La Laguna which is located at the North side of the Lago Atitlan. The team was really excited about the chance to be there because a few weeks ago the trip was almost cancelled, and we felt that God was pushing us to go and help our brothers and sisters at the lake. During our only two days at the lake we brought supplies, games for the kids, and also help to one of the church members to clean his house filled with mud and junk from one of the land slides (the land slide that affect most of the people was around 200 yards wide and like 2 miles long). After we finished the cleaning, we worked that night with the youth group, about 55 kids came to the service. Aaron my oldest brother is here with me working in missions and he shared his testimony with the kids, it was so powerful and real that after the service and the games the kids kept asking more and more details about his story. That night was amazing and fun.

The next day we were responsibles for the Sunday School, the team did a great job with the games and the story. After that we started the VBS with the games and the craft, about 120 kids came to church to play and hear about Jesus. What a blessing that was that the kids were in so much need of love and attention, but also they started understanding that God is full of joy and love, and that he is ready to play and laugh with them. There are a few pictures on my Facebook profile if you want to see it.

Finally we are back in the city................

Deuteronomy 15: 10-11

¹⁰ Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. ¹¹ There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.
