great is Thy faithfulness,

Back to the recount of outreach! Our last week was in Antigua, Guatemala, one of my favourite places in Central America. He we did a lot of debriefing of DTS with the students, and also visited a special needs hospital everyday. This was both a super fun and beautiful experience visiting and loving on the kids here… getting them to smile and laugh was such a joy. It was also quite sad as most of the kids there have been abandoned… yet God had us there that week to feel His heart for them and be his hands and feet. It was the first time for many of the students working with people with special needs and it was cool to see them be stretched and act in the love that God gave them for the children.

Making our way home was a testimony in itself! You may or may not have heard, but while we were in Guatemala, there was a volcanic eruption, causing ash to fall all over Guatemala City and close the airport. A day or two later the hurricane hits Guatemala causing landslides, roadblocks and borders to be closed. We are now stranded at the base praying and wondering how God is going to get us home in time for DTS graduation! It had been so evident that God had his hand in getting us those tickets so after a time of waiting on him, making a couple phone calls and tickets out of San Salvador being reserved without even our confirmation, it was pretty clear that God was about to do one last miracle for us to finish out… we found a couple drivers that were willing to help us take the 5 hour drive to the San Salvador airport. Even as unpromising as it looked, with the high chance of roads being blocked, borders being closed and not making it on time for our flight, God totally showed up and got us safely home!



Graduation was a beautiful celebration of all the work God had done in the lives of the students these past 5 months… it was such a great privilege to be apart of it… I really never thought you could love so many people so much, all at once! 20 more people, ruined for the ordinary, about to go change the world around them. God is so good.
