Memories from the Guatemala Mission Trip 2023

I have many fond memories of my time in Guatemala that I will never forget.

From the laughter of the children as we held hands and played games. Joining them in singing and praising God.

The joyous faces of the nurses and future nurses who were able to triage patients for the clinics, play games with the children and dress up and perform a skit about Daniel and the Lion.

I remember the team packing, unpacking, and rearranging suitcases and bags

Hearing the children’s missionary, Rachel with God Said Go, speak about how Jesus loves them.

I also enjoyed walking the streets in Panajachel and our boat ride across Lake Atitlan.

Touring the pottery factory and being humbled by the work they were able to do with their hands and dirt. Being reminded of our Heavenly Father who formed man out of clay.

Driving over the bumpy lava was an intense experience, as the vehicle jolted and bumped with every rise and fall of the terrain. The mission team was filled with excitement and anticipation as we approached the village, knowing that it was the first time a mission team had ever arrived.

It was a delight to meet the beautiful couple who set up, prepared and served the children. They were so kind and generous in their actions, and had such a wonderful way of making the children and us feel special and cared for. It was a pleasure to spend time with them and it was a heartwarming experience to witness the love and care they provided to the children. They were a true blessing and it was an honor to be in their presence.

Developing new friends and reuniting with old ones.

I will forever cherish the memories created in Guatemala, and am grateful for this time and looking forward to the next.

His Blessings on the people of Guatemala.
