Destination: Guatemala! June Update

Good afternoon everyone! Our team for Guatemala has had a few meetings now, and everything seems to be happening very smoothly. We all get along well; we got to spend some time as a team with Eunice, our missionary, and we all researched our assigned topics about the country and shared that info with the team. We’ve also gotten assigned the responsibility of coming up with some resources for what we plan to share while we’re at the orphanages. I’ve just spent the beginning of my afternoon looking up songs for our team to sing in Spanish. Doing so has brought back some great memories of when I was on my mission trip to the Dominican Republic when I was in high school, and it made me that much more excited about Guatemala! We leave in about 7 weeks and I recently found out that my entire trip is paid in full!! God continues to amaze me with His generosity through supporter’s prayers and finances. Without both, this trip would not be a reality for me, yet it is and I’m SO THANKFUL to each of you! The team was encouraged to ask for a list of intercessors that are willing to cover us in prayer. If any of you feel specifically led or would want to dedicate your time to pray for me while I’m gone, please reply to this letter and I’ll add you to my list! Again, thank you all for your prayers and support in every way! I’ll keep you updated as we get nearer to departure! Lots of love,
