Inspiration comes from unexpected places

October 1 was national kids day in Guatemala and I am actually really upset we don't have this day in the states. IT WAS SO FUN. We made a cake, well four cakes actually, for the kids and had a big party for them. So Thursday we played games and had pinatas and ate cake and just had fun! I have never been put in charge of 40 kids before, it was a little exhausting. I never realized how difficult 40 kids bouncing off the walls could be to watch, but we somehow made it through! Thursday night we ate dinner at the community center and played games and got our own pinata! It has been one of my favorite days here so far for sure.

These past two weeks have been filled with being back in sites. Right now I am working in the woman's social sight, and I love it! I have never felt so much that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. It has been amazing starting to get to know these women a little bit, knowing who they are and then also seeing where they live. I have been on missions trips before, and each time my eyes are opened by the conditions these people are living in. But actually getting to know these people that are living in these conditions is heart breaking. And even though they have so little, they are still so happy and have amazing faith. They are so eager to not only learn about new ways that they can make a living, but also about God. And it is amazing to me that people that have so little, can have such big faith in God. He always provides. I also got the chance to teach these ladies how to make a bracelet and lead a Bible study in Spanish. It was definitely an interesting experience (and I butchered the Spanish part) but it was still such an awesome experience!

In the three weeks that I have spent with these women altogether, I have learned a few things. God didn't just send me to Guatemala to spark a light in these people's lives, he sent me here for these people to spark a light in my life. I have already begun to see God transform my life through all of these amazing people I have met in my short time here and I cannot wait to see where I end up!
