We’re home from our mission trip to Casa Angelina in Guatemala.  What an unforgettable trip it was.  We started the week off with a free day and we visited the black sand beach.  It was very different from our beaches around here.  So clean and beautiful.  The waves were also very strong.  We had a great time.  The scenery in Guatemala is amazing.  There are mountains and flowers every where you look.  The weather was spectacular.  Monday we went to Casa Angelina and were greeted by some very awesome kids who are so full of love it just bursts from them.  After playing with the kids for a little while we were surprised with our assignment of combing lice out of the kids hair.  Not what we were expecting, but we did it any way. They fed us amazing lunches every day we were there.  They took us to visit the widow’s home that the team built last year and the family was so happy for the visit and the supplies that were brought to them.  Tuesday we continued with the lice duty and then began digging a trench and building compost bins. The hostel we stayed at cooked us breakfast and dinner each day that was delicious.  We worked on the trench the rest of the week and also cleaning the aquaponics house and planting flowers on a very steep hill to help stop erosion.  We bought shoes and groceries for the widow’s family and brought the items to them on Friday.  The family was so very grateful for everything that was done for them.  The conditions they live in are unimaginable and these people are so full of genuine love, it is unbelievable.  We take so many things for granted in our every day lives and this trip has really humbled me.  God has blessed me in so many ways that I take advantage of.  I had the time of my life serving with the TCPT Ripple Effect Missions Team.  Each and every one of the members are so special and have hearts of gold.  I can’t wait to serve with them again.
