Things I Miss the Most About Guatemala

Here are just a few of my favorite things that I miss the most about Guatemala!
  • A circle of little girls who want to communicate with you so bad we draw on almost every page in my notebook!



  • Teaching God's Word to those who actually want to learn and soak it all up!



  • Walking through the streets of El Chal when we couldn't find a tuk tuk, while every Guatemalan stares, whistles, or says "Hello" or any other word they know in English!

  • Limonada con sodas and Steak with avocado sandwiches!

  • Singing Sapo, Sapo with the kids at Biblestudy in Santa Rita!



  • Listening to Jim and Shelley share the vision God has given them for spreading the gospel throughout the Petén!



  • Learning new signs from all of my deaf Guatemalan friends!



Eating mango at every meal!!!

  • Visiting the breathtaking sights, (waterfalls, Lake Itzá, Tikal, Jungle canopy, flowers in the sewage, etc.) that God created just for our pleasure!



  • Random blackouts that leads to frustration, then adventures, memories, and laughs!

  • Constantly being amazed at the Guatemalan culture and their way of life!



  • Trying to communicate and then falling flat on my face when I totally butcher the Spanish language!

  • My Kekchi brothers and sisters in Christ scattered throughout the Guatemalan Jungle!



I really could go on and on, but I will leave the rest for another blog!
