Wednesday Update

Today, team 1 said our goodbyes to Eagles Nest and left Solola for Guatemala City, where we will spend the rest of the our time. We stopped for a few hours in Antigua for lunch and shopping. Antigua is a beautiful old town located about 45 minutes away from Guatemala City. Even though there appears to be more wealth in Antigua than in Solola and some of the more remote villages, there is also a considerable amount of poverty. Street merchants and beggars flood the streets and parks hoping to earn enough money to live. Mothers and their children work together, offering tourists a variety of merchandise, including: woven bracelets, scarves, necklaces and wooden instruments. We met this adorable little guy in Antigua's Central Park when his mom and 8 year old brother approached our group with bracelets for sale.

After Antigua, we made our way to the Hotel Princessa in Guatemala City. Tonight we are all going to try to get to bed early, because we leave at 7:15 AM for tomorrow's school visit. We are also spending time processing the many experiences we have had so far and asking God what He has wanted each of us to learn and see on this trip. Please pray that tomorrow, our last day of mission work, goes well. Also pray that each of us will have discernment as we listen to God regarding His desire for us on this trip.

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently. And we benefited from knowing Cesy! For years she would translate for our special programs. I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me. She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women. One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD. Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you! Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany. I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences. First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school. I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life. It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person. The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally. And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...
