So exactly today I have been in Guatemala for 1 & 1/2 years. I have been thinking about it a lot today. Just reflecting on my time here and thinking about how this culture has become so much of who I am now. I love it here in Guatemala. I love the people, I love the culture, I love Spanish, I love my church here, I love my friends here, and I love my teammates that I work with at SEPAL.
I have been thinking about how I have about 6 more months on this adventure in Guatemala before God leads me on a new adventure. I know 6 months is a lot of time, but this year and a half have gone by so fast, so I know these 6 months will fly by!
I am excited for the rest of my time here, but sad too when I think about how little amount of time it is. I am just trying to take it one day at time and enjoy each day with my friends and my time in this wonderful country.
One thing I am looking forward to most is this summer! I have the opportunity to lead the summer team (STEP). It is a group of college aged and older who come to Guatemala for 7 weeks to be exposed to missions and to Guatemala. I am going to have a great team of leaders helping me this summer!
Would you pray with me during my last few months here? Pray that even though my time is short it won't seem like it and the relationships I have will continue to grow. Would you also pray for the summer team? That we will seek God in all of the planning of the summer, and that God would be forming the right team to come this summer.
Thank you so much!

Take these 6 months and make them something useful, valuable, and special and they will stay with you for many years to come. I have wasted so much of my time that the last 6 moths of my life feel like an empty hole don't let that happen sis. Its to easy to close up and lock down for fear of pain and loss.
STEP will be so awesome! I know God is going to bring precisely who he desires to the team...and I'm so excited to see what that looks like! You are doing an amazing job already...I think it's soo neat how God has extended your stay in Guate..that you'll be able to lead out this summer using the unique gifts He's given you! You are an excellent leader and mentor...I'm so thankful for you lil' miss! Know that I'm in prayer for this summer...OHHH I can't wait!
