Belong to Me

We’ve been in ChiChi for about 3 days but honesty it feels like we live here. We have a little family. I can’t get over the unity of this team. I just realized we’ve been away from our homes for about a week and that’s just weird. On Wednesday, 1/29/18 our team split into two groups and went to the local school to teach. I was on Team B who went from 3:30-6:00 and it was amazing. All the children wore red uniforms and were basically bouncing off the walls when we walked into the school. I loved teaching. The class began with a simple prayer, in which the students...

This is Life Now

This is life now.? After 48 long hours of traveling across the world, we have finally arrived and were greeted with open arms, hospitality, and a crowd of children welcoming us home.

Our morning starts when the roosters crow and chanting at the nearby temples begin which can be as early as 4am. Our days are filled with teaching English, getting schooled in...

I was quickly humbled by the fact we could barley see the mountains through the fog once we landed. YET, the fog didn’t blind us from the beauty behind it. How amazing is that illusion. Even though we arrived...

A calling of $50,000 : A God worth it all

After finally finding some wifi, I’m here to tell you why I gave up two free years of college to live three months of my life in Guatemala. I’ve felt the calling for missions for some time now but it really struck me hard when I went on my first trip to Nicaragua. I fell so deeply in love with God during that week.  My home state of Tennessee allows any high school graduate to attend a community college or trade school for two years free. I was in my senior year of high school when I went to Nicaragua. Shortly there after I applied to the World Race Gap Year.  I was...
