Just wanted to send out a quick update! The team is doing great, and having 9 hours of sleep last night has contributed to a new level of energy and excitement...along with a lot less bleary and tired eyes! So sleep was about in this moment as good as it gets!
This morning 3 of our 4 VBS teams will be running church services in Sante Fe, with our 4th VBS group leading a church service tonight! Please keep us in prayer as we lead and run our VBS groups for the first time here in Guatemala. There is a high level of excitement and another level of nervousness as well. Two of our groups are combining this morning, leading at the largest church here in Sante Fe. We are PUMPED about what God is going to do and how we are going to see Him do Immeasurably More! Overall we are leading in 4 church services and running childrens programming in another 6 today. It will be a full day of ministry!
We have already seen God show up in some really cool ways! Our theme has been Immeasurably More, and it has been awesome as a team each night to see how He is doing that. One of our groups was painting at a school, and got caught in a pretty nasty downpour...since we were no longer able to paint, instead of just waiting and sitting it our, we noticed that the gutter system we broken and causing the school that we were working at to flood. We had JUST the right people with the right skill set (obviously I was one of those who was stuck underneath watching the people with the real skills dominate) and were able to get it fixed. It was an awesome reminder of how God is working and helping us to do Immeasurably More!
No one who is feeling or who has gotten sick yet, so we are continuing to praise God and ask that the health of the group continues! Please continue to join with us in prayer for health. Other pray requests include: that God will work in and through us in VBS and Church Services that we are leading, that we will continue to have energy and excitement, and that we are open to what God is teaching us!
On a personal note, birthday shout out to Mark Baker! Bake, could not ask for a better best friend. Hope that you have a FANTASTIC day today! BIGLES!
