Finally Here!

This will be a short post because it has been a long day and I am exhausted!!

I am so glad to FINALLY be in Guatemala! My mind is all jumbled up with different emotions and thoughts, coupled with exhaustion. I have been up since 5:20 am, and I haven't gotten a break yet, but I love it.

Mike and Sandi, the CAM missionaries, have been wonderful. They are helping me get accustomed to the culture and lifestyle down here, and they have been so welcoming. I am already falling in love with the people here, but I can also tell that I am going to struggle with homesickness. Right now, 10 weeks feels like a super long time to be away from my family and friends, but 10 weeks from now I will look back at this and realize how short of a time it really was.

My prayer is that the Lord will use me in a way that absolutely shocks me. I pray that I can just get out of His way and let Him work and move in such a way that when I look back on it, the only explanation is GOD!

For now, please pray for:
-Boldness both in sharing the Gospel and in speaking Spanish (I have been very timid to use my Spanish so far)
-God's will to be done in every aspect of this trip
-A willing heart to learn this language/culture/people
-Safety, but not at the expense of God's will being done and His glory reigning through this mission.

I love you all and I will post a longer blog soon :D
