So Many Beautiful Faces

Guatemala is good. God is good.

I visited a few ministries connected to EdT this past week with Kim and took lots of pictures. One of these places is called Precious Moments, it's a school and daycare and a shelter for those who have no place else to go at night. Martha, the woman who leads Precious Moments, won the Avon Woman of the Year award last year and after seeing how much this ministry does with such limited resources, I'd say she definitely deserves it. This is a place that Immanuel's team will be visiting in a few weeks when they come. I also visited a place called Iglesia de Refugio (Church of Refuge) which runs a feeding program for children in two different neighborhoods. I visited this place two summers ago on a vision trip and it was great to be able to return. Working with these pictures of all the little faces peering over the counter eagerly waiting to get their meal has melted my heart. Still working on my Spanish and settling into the Guatemalan culture. Your prayers mean so much to me. It really helps me to know that I have so much prayer support.
