So on Sunday we had a really chill day and one of the students decided to make a video! This is the first one, but he is hoping to do more and feature each student. Attached a link, hope it works and enjoy!
Our adventure started yesterday at 5:30am with the smell bacon wafting through my room because the guys had to have some before left :) We were suppose to pack at 6:00 and then leave at 6:30 but... the van didn't start...We got off on the road! and then realized we were missing a passport :) but Andrew saved us and meet us with it! We finally got to O'Hare but not before the windshield would freeze and the wiper fluid didn't work so Derek would spray it with solution at the toll booths :) O'Hare though was a breeze, thank you God! Flight to Atlanta and Guatemala were chill! On the way to Guatemala there was a family with two young kids! The little girl was getting a little anxious and I had a open seat next to me, decide I should get out of my comfort zone already and asked her to color with me! It was so rewarding:) but she spoke minimal English mainly French so I couldn't even practice my Spanish :) Got to Guatemala and got our luggage, but Sarah's was not ...
Wow! This past week has been incredible! It has been really great getting to know everyone and living in community with them. There is eleven of us living in the Lincoln house. B:Mitchell, Chris, Alica; M:Sarah, Josh, Ryan, Lauren: M: Vicki, Derek, Heather, Kelly; T: Brandon, Alex, Jeremy. Missing: Anna We went camping for a couple of days in the Flat Platte River Campground, which is by Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a great time spent in close quarters that brought us all together as we spent time finding out who each of us are and where we have come from. Slack Lining! There was this crazy dune that looks like a wall! a After we got back we had Ryan speak to us on hearing the voice of God! We spent some time asking God who we are to Him and why He has us here? God has revealed some pretty powerful things already to all of us. It is really going to be cool to watch as each of us grow in the identity that God has spoken into us! And this week we...
Time has moved so fast! I can remember ten months ago when I had catch-up coffee with a friend and that is when God opened the door for the mission school! Then four months ago I moved in to an apartment complex with ten other people! We went on a camping trip to get to know each other. And now we have gone through 13 weeks of life together and we are still alive :) We have gone through 13 weeks of trying to drink out of a gushing fire hose of information! It has been great, but now my brain is like dead! It is so good don't get me wrong, just very hard to now process everything. Time to dig for the gold nuggets:) In 11 days we leave for Guatemala on January 3 for two months! I am so excited to see what God is going to do there and in us! I believe He has already started doing things there and here! We are going to be helping the Christian schools in La Limonada. La Limonada is a large slum in Guatemala City. The first couple of weeks we will be helping get...
