Lessons learned...

Buenos Dias a todos! Today, we are saying our goodbyes to many of our friends here who have been a part of our lives for the last week. It can be very sad for us, but we are encouraged to know that the ministry here will carry on through these people. We have been so blessed by the people of Iglesia Adonai and Casita Adonai, and we are excited to share these blessings with those of you at home.






Yesterday, our team spent some time listing ten events or things that stood out to them from this week. Of those ten things, they were asked to pick their top three things and ask God what He was teaching them. After spending time praying about our trip, these are the things we shared with one another:

"Everyone has a story full of pain, but God is enough- His love is enough."

"God will provide when I or others can't provide for me."

"God is the 'I Am,' and He is enough for me."

"I am enough, God's love is enough, and He is sufficient. He provided healing for me."

"God taught me to listen to Him when He speaks."

"God taught me that I am good enough. I am beautiful in his eyes because he doesn't make ugly things. He taught me to let go because I can't do it on my own. He has control and will never fail me."

"God is faithful to provide. He provided joy, awareness, multiplied time, rest from disappointments, friends, money, an expanded heart, healing, incredible instruction, and truth." Phil. 4:9

"Everything God provides is a gift to be used for His glory."

"God showed me how faithful He is in my life."

"Everything I think about myself is nothing compared to what God thinks of me."

God told me, "I will heal you and I will set you free. So, trust me and let me into the places you need healing."

"I'm not alone; I have God who loves me and shows me joy."

"God taught me to fall in love with Him. He will never leave or disappoint me. I'm most important to Him."

"God broke my pride and asked me to give Him the glory for the gifts He has given me."

"You should try to get as close to the kids as you can because you don't have a lot of time to spend with them."

Thank you all so much for the support you have given us! We have felt your prayers and love towards us over the course of this week. Dios te bendiga!

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

  Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019.  That seems impossible but it's true.   The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful.  However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas.   Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years.  We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love!  One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her.  A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies.  I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!"  Little did we know the impact that one idea would make.   Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut hair.  We quickly realized that
