Dear Guatemalan Sisters,

On our last day of ministry for the first week in Guatemala, my team headed out to an indigenous village three hours away. I was expecting a day full of children ministry, but received so much more. This is my open letter to my new Guatemalan sisters. Dear Guatemalan Sisters, Your hospitality has changed my life and my heart. The small village of beautiful selflessness that you live in is such an example of Jesus’s love. Though we are the same age, you have become my role models; because laughter is your medicine and you have true joy that only Jesus can provide....

Expectations

Ecuador

As we began serving in Ecuador, I came to several realizations. Sometimes we create expectations and get upset when they are not met.

Our first day of ministry, we were told we were going to work in the hospital. After hearing this, I immediately expected we would work with patients. Instead, they told us we would be working in a room sorting health files. While we were organizing, I was a little upset. I did...

This first week is one that i will never forget. Some of the things that have happened make my normal ‘hectic’ life look small. I never thought that a group of 12 girls could get this close yet have so many issues after knowing each other for about a week. I feel like I have known my team for months. Of course some times are better than others but Saturday was one of the most insane, amazing, confusing days of my whole life. I almost think that if I had known Saturday would have happened before I came on this trip, I would have been very reluctant to come. I am still...

I Will Not Underestimate My Enemy Again

Spiritual warfare isn’t really something I had ever taken seriously. Yes, I believed that the devil is real and that he has demons and that they cause trouble for Christians, but I always underestimated my enemy. The truth of his power finally became real to me in the months before this mission trip. I had a court case, an oral surgery, broken toe, an emotionally stressful situation, and arguments with some of my best friends, all two months before leaving for Nicaragua. So much piled up in such little time and I was left astounded. How could so much go so wrong...
