Never the Same!





I'm heading off to Antigua, Guatemala this summer for two weeks with Never the Same Missions! Follow along with me as I strive to be the hands and feet of God and minister to His children in Guatemala! It'll be a life-changing experience!



"I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward - to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back!" ~ Philippians 3:12-14

Day 8!

Hey all - another amazing couple of days!! Yesterday (Sunday) was a free day. The morning service was amazing, and afterwards a group of us walked to the market with some leaders during free time. I learned how to bargain a little, which was hard for me because I'm not very persuasive and I'm bad at arguing. Haha...but a friend helped me. :) In the evening, we got to choose two seminars to attend, which was neat. I went to Spiritual Gifts and Prayer. They were really cool and eye-opening!
Just a random thought - the meals have been pretty good, which is nice.
Today, we had plans of where to go for our ministry, but God completely altered our plans. We ended up first at a school where we performed the drama then had some time to talk/pray/play with the kids there. Afterwards, there was a local man (who in some was is associated with our team I think but I don't know how) who recently got some land to build a church on, so we took the bus out to the land and spent some time praying over it that the money and supplies needed to build the church would be provided. Afterwards, as we were walking back to the bus, we happened to pass an orphanage, and there happened to be some Americans who worked there who happened to notice us walking by, and the orphanage's computers happened to have just shut off so they couldn't have computer class, and they happened to ask us to come in and perform. TOTAL God thing. So we got to play a little with the kids and perform the drama. But the best part - we got to pray over two little girls in wheelchairs, that they would be blessed and healed. And I really feel like God is going to do great things in their lives.
So, since everything today was sort of unexpected, we didn't get to eat lunch until after 3 oclock on the way home. Yeah... 7 1/2 hours without food doesn't go over so well. BUT, we are being stretched, right?
So I've been journaling a ton and I can't wait to fill everyone in in person. I wrote out my testimony and gave it to a leader so I will be able to give that in a few days.
OHHH - and I get to meet my sponsored child on Wednesday!!! (Well, technically it's not definite yet, but if everything works out...I'm SO excited!)

Thanks everyone for the prayers.
I really will be changed.

Love,
Meg
