GUATEMALA PICTURES and 2.5 weeks left update

Just some pictures of what it looks like here:) This is only a small fraction of what I see every day, but it  will hopefully take you in a little bit! We have two more weeks left here. This next week we'll do our last round of vacation bible schools which have been super powerful. We've gotten some really encouraging feedback from the pastors of the churches we've been doing the VBSs at. It's awesome to know we've actually been able to powerfully bless this country, when most of the time "short term missions" are less about our sacrifice and more about learning....God has been gracious and blessed us with the ability to really touch the people here. Not to say that our lives aren't being powerfully changed at the same time, because they truly are. Praise the Lord! The week after next is the El Tizate school "campamento". It's a camp they do every year. This year's title is "The Holy Spirit" Pray that the Lord reveals himself to us, that we would be humbled, and that all the students, teachers, and leaders would be powerfully blessed by the Spirit of God ministering to us that week. PERSPECTIVE; It's a beautiful thing to gain from the body of Christ. Heres some pics!!
