Amazing Women!!

I had the amazing opportunity to serve along side some amazing women almost 2 months ago. I am sorry it has taken me this long to post about my experience on my blog. The first week of March I had the opportunity to join Wooddale Church from Minnesota. They were here in Guatemala on a short term missions trip. They have been coming to Guatemala for 12 years! They have a great ministry and it was wonderful getting to know all of them!

I had the privilege to join 4 amazing women and help translate for a home visitation ministry. For five days we went to different towns and visited families. We had the opportunity to enter many homes and pray for those who had needs such as, sickness, financial, spiritual, loss of a loved one, a son or daughter who had fallen away from the Lord, etc... It was a great week, but also it was also emotionally draining to see need after need.

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to spend each day with the 4 women from Wooddale. As we walked around each town I had the opportunity to get to know each one of them better, and it was refreshing to have some time just sharing what God is doing in my life!

I am thankful for the time that I had with this ministry and these amazing women!!
