This week I have been preparing some things for the upcoming mission trip of next. We will have members of conduit it come to Guatemala and engage in different activities here. There will be a family visiting us who is interested in learning more about orphanages so, we will be visiting a few of these around there area where the team will be. I'm contacting these places so we can visit them. I'm also arranging other things of the trip like transportation.
This is the first week of the business training in San Bartolo and I'm really excited about this. It wasn't a good beginning though. It poured down rain while I was on my way there and it was so much that the road flooded. I was stuck in traffic for an hour. Some women came before the rain started and they were gracious enough to wait for me (though they were trapped in the too ;) ). I honored them with my words for being there. We had 6 people come despite of the rain. We talked about ourselves and the business or business ideas they have. I gave them an introduction of what I was going to teach them and that was our first lesson.
At the kids' home, it was my second week meeting with Marcos*, the boy I'm discipling. I asked him how he was doing when we first met and tears came out of his eyes. He wouldn't tell me what was going on but this was a good opportunity to pray with him. From the children's home leaders I know he's been through abuse situations so I know there is a lot of his story that could be affecting him. However, I'm so glad to hear that he is no longer getting involved with gangs as he was before. They told me he has even changed the way he is dressing and he doesn't try to dress like the gang members too. We read through proverbs 1 and 2 and it's amazing how in this chapters it talks about avoiding people whose intentions are to rob and kill. God's always at work. This is such a privilege for me to be part of
*Name has been changed to honor the confidence they have had to meet with me personally
