God has been blessing our team more and more each day that we get to spend in this beautiful country. Today was our third day in the village at the church that we have been holding our ministries. The women’s ministry opened up this morning with another wonderful session on important health issues that are facing the women of this village. It opened up the eyes to this group of about 60 women to the health and hygiene issues that are very prevalent to them. Today the team mostly taught about pregnancy information, which seems simple to Americans, but it is information they never have learned that is beneficial to them.
After the women’s clinic, then started the Vacation Bible School and the eyeglasses clinic.
Today we got to provide many women of the village witheyeglasses, so now they can properly read their Bibles without any trouble. Eyeglasses are not easily provided here for the people of Guatemala, so this was a major blessing that they received.The Vacation Bible School seems to just get better
and better everyday. Stronger relationships with the children are forming, and you can see the light in their eyes as we share the Gospel and the Fruit of the Spirit with them each day. They dance and sing with excitement, and put all their attention in the Bible skits when they are being presented. In my personal opinion, some of my favorite times with the kids are even after the VBS has ended for the day, and we just get to run, tickle, and play tag with them outside. Being able to love on them is such a privilege and blessing.
My favorite part of the today, though, had to be when a small group of us went to deliver food in the morning to a few specific families that Servants 4 Him provide for who are in need of help. I came to Guatemala last year with the team, and grew extremely close to the Lopez family, which is a family of about 20 that we got to work with each day for a week and 
helped rebuild their house. While we were delivering food, we had the opportunity to stop by their house to see them for the first time in a year and a half. It was seriously the biggest blessing I could ever ask for to be reunited with my “Guatemalan family in Christ.” The children of this family have blessed me beyond measures, and seeing them again filled my heart with joy. Saying goodbye was tough, but it just reminded me: this is what Heaven will be like. All of Jesus’ children in one place, reunited in love, no matter how much time we spend apart from each other. That reunion will live with me forever, and I can’t wait for the next one—whether it’s here on earth or in Heaven with Christ.
We miss everyone!
