Sara, so thrilled that you are there! The kids are going to love you!! Enjoy the adventure and embrace what God brings your way. Praying for safety, health and many changed lives.
Sara with no “h”. Prayed for you today while I was at work. Glad you made it safely. Hoping you can relax tonight, enjoy worship and get a good, solid night’s sleep! Dad and I could use some good sleep too! Love you!
Mom
Kristy fixed it;) We made it after a rather longish day. Although we got here by 4:30 Guatemala time, it still seemed to take forever. Our first flight ran smoothly, but the second one was a little bit more interesting. Our plane came in slightly late, and then it was oversold by one person and it took a while for us to actually board. Then, once we did, they were having organization problems and we were like half an hour late. However the pilot made up time and we were in Guatemala only ten minutes late. There was some turbulence on our flight, but it was no big deal and the movies/snacks got us through. Then after luggage and customs we started the two hour journey to the base. It took a while to get through Guat city but the roads weren’t bad until we started up the mountain. Anyway, we are at the base now and are just getting settled in before dinner. I’ll make sure to get some sleep, love you ❤
Prayed for you today Sara! Praying for a wonderful night sleep and a great day tomorrow! I know that your beautiful soul will shine this week! My challenge and prayer for you tomorrow is that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see Gods goodness all around you! Love you!!!
Thanks Aunt Amy. I sure did sleep good but the waking up at 5:30 in the morning was tough! Today went so well and I feel so blessed to be here on this team to help and serve those around me and most importantly the Lord. Thanks for the comment!
I was just 2 years older than you when I went on my first mission trip to the D.R. Like you, I was not fluent in Spanish and had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be a great experience. I pray God will use you and work in you in exciting ways. Have a great time with the people on the team and with the people you serve.
I know that you went to the D.R., but I thought it was sooner;) anyway, though I may not be fluent in Spanish I am still able to interact and pick up some things with the kids and people around me and it is really exciting. I played with this one girl in the orphanage today and after a while I was able to understand everything (for the most part) that she said, granted she didn’t say much haha. I am having a great time, hope things are going well at home too. Love you
Thanks Mrs. Adams. It truly has been a blessing in itself to be able to be here and bless others and serve, and in doing so showing them the love of God.
I saw all the great pictures from today! Looks amazing. I love that you got to paint little girls nails and hold babies at the orphanage. I even saw you with a power tool😁. I worked today and then played a double header. I pitched both games. We won one and lost one. I’m super tired now. Kylee and a Hannah asked about you! I hope you are eating good. Sleep tight tonight and get up ready to serve, I love you!
Yes, the work has been a bit of a stretch but I have truly enjoyed being able to interact with the kids at the work site and the orphanage. Today we finished painting the house. It’s amazing how you can transform a house from a concrete slab and the beginning of day one, and a fully painted and beautiful home at the end of day two. I hope you had fun pitching, and its *kylea by the way haha. I am eating good although it is a little out of my comfort zone to eat the food they prepare, if you don’t eat you won’t do well (but it isn’t that bad ;)). Tomorrow we are dedicating these homes and giving gifts and I can’t wait, but at the same time I am sad that tomorrow is my last day with the kids I have built relationships with (especially Louisa and Delmi). Love you too!!
Hey Sara (with no h because h’s are ew😉)! Hope your trip is going well and you are having a great time seeing God work through your church and you, and that you are absorbing and learning about a new culture as well as helping those in need. Praying for you that everythi g goes smoothly and you have a good rest of the week!! Love you (being me back something nice 😁 jk) and can’t wait to hear all about it when you come back!!
You right h’s are ewww anyway… Thank you! This trip has been better than I could have ever imagined! Today the family I built a house for accepted Christ as their Savior and I literally cried like a baby *insert head slap*. But it was truly a beautiful thing to witness. I can’t wait until I can share with you guys the wonderful things God has done here. I will definitely try to get you something if we get souvenirs,.. im not entirely sure yet. Love you too! ❤
Hello Sara! I am loving seeing all these pictures and updates! Those smiles on the children’s faces are priceless and I’m sure you will remember them! Praying for you and that you have a great day! Keep up the good work serving God’s people! Love you!
Sara,
Blessings to you and prayers of health and safety!! I hope that you learn as much about God’s spirit as the people you are serving will learn about God’s spirit!! May you continue to share the love and peace that you know He brings!!
Love,
Shari
We have been praying for and the teem every day. Also reading the blog and checking out the pics. Looks like a fantastic opportunity for you. God is absolutely determined to bless you today. Grampa Hunting
Sara, what an amazing day you had yesterday! So cool for you to dedicate the houses you built in just 2 days. What a great opportunity to share the gospel with the Guatemala people. I hope you are doing good. Are you getting car sick on the rides? Hope you are eating enough and sleeping good. Going out to the Conference Grounds today to visit Aunt Amy and Kris. It’s Olive’s birthday. I’ll have some ice cream for you!! I love you and continue to pray for you and the team daily! Thanks for keeping me updated. I love to see the pictures of you.
It definitely was an amazing experience! Lots of tears, but overall a great day! I am not getting sick, and actually enjoying the excitement of the rides (most of the time at least). Aw I’m so sad that I missed going out to CRCG for the first time this year, but I guess since I am in Guatemala I cannot complain. I hope you wished Olive a happy birthday for me! Love her so much, and glad shes out of those terrible twos! Love you too!
Hey Sara hoping and praying that you feel like this week just zoomed by! Wow what an awesome experience all of you guys have had! Praying for your last few days there that you guys stay healthy and that you can continue to grow in the love of Christ between yourselves and the people around you
Sara,
Thinking of you today as you started a new adventure at the clinic. Praying you feel God’s strength pushing you forward as you do His work for the rest of the trip. Thank you for spending your week blessing others, and hopefully you are being blessed as well.
Sara,
So good to see the amazing things that are happening before your eyes. I miss you here and our backgammon set sits idle but I and glad to loan you out to the people of Guatemala so you can serve them and witness the power of God to change lives even as He works in yours. I love you and continue to pray for you each day. Dad.
Thanks dad. I miss you here too. We’ll have to play an intense game of backgammon when I get home (after my 24 hour nap of course)! Happy father’s day!! I love you
Last night in Guatemala! Can you believe it? We are anxious to have you home but we are so glad you had the opportunity to go on this trip. It has been great to follow the team through the pictures and Pastor Kevin’s blog. We had a good Father’s Day. We had to sing and go early to church, so the boys were missing your ability to drive them to church a little later! We had Grandpa and Grandma Cunningham over for lunch and went to Grandpa and Grandma TerHaar’s for dinner. We all missed you but prayed for you and the team. I even showed Great Grandma your pictures! Haven’t heard from CFA this week, so you’ll have to check in with them on Tuesday afternoon. We leave for Tripods on Wednesday. Have a great night of worship and safe travel home. If you still need souvenirs, you can always look at the airport😀. Love you lots.
Mom
Thanks Mom, it is crazy that this is our last night! I am jealous of all the family time however. I guess I do have to go to CFA. I wanted to have you send Maddie an email about the scheduling, but I guess it will have to wait. Oh well. Love you and can’t wait to see you!!!
