It took me quite some time to put together this post because I struggled to find the right words to truly capture what an amazing experience this trip has been. I had the chance to go on a mission trip to Guatemala with my church, and let me tell you, it opened my eyes to just how awesome God is.
You know what my favorite Bible story is? David and Goliath. It's a story that reminds us that no matter what situation we're in, God's got our back. And let me tell you, the people I met in Guatemala, who grew up in a totally different way of life, they were just as happy as can be.
I spent most of the week helping out in the medical clinic, and I even got to lend a hand in building a house for a little bit. But you wanna know the best part? Building relationships with the kids in the village. Those kids, man, they really opened my eyes. I've been so incredibly blessed in my own life, with toys, my own room, the privilege of going to school five days a week, having all the clothes I needed, and never going hungry.
I'll forever be grateful for this opportunity to serve, and you can bet I'm already counting down the days until I can go back next year!
( there’s going to be more posts about all I have done this summer coming)
