I have been in the throes of leader traning and training camp for the past week. Tomorrow I, along, with my good budides Connie Rock and Kristen Torres-Torro, will set out with 13 highschool gals to San Pedro Guatemala, where God has some Kingdom to show us and release through us there. I am excited to break my rotuine for a bit and get back out on the field, where I have found I come most alive. Here is the little blurb I wrote for our group blog tonight. Pardon my copy and pasting, but I have to get up in less than four hours ;).
I return July 14th! Pics and stories definitley to come…
I sit here typing this at 10:45 pm. We have just completed our comissioning service and our last night of training camp. In about four hours (yes, folks that is 3am. Yikes!) we load up the big yellow bus that brought most of us to Gainesville two days ago, and begin our journey! These last couple of days of training camp have been a whirlwind of team builders, teachings and time to get to know one another. I have been so impressed at how our team has jumped right into the craziness of traning camp and their desire to grow together as a little family for the next two weeks. These gals are ready to be true “ambassadors” of the Father’s love to the people of Guatemala. I am honored to help lead them on this adventure.
We arrive in Guatemala City tomorrow around noon. We will be staying the night there and returning to the airport Saturday morning to pick up the other team. We will then make our way by bus to San Pedro, where we will be ministering for the duration of the trip. We will post again to let you know we have arrived safetly, and a few times after that with stories and updates.
We value your prayers so much! Thanks for cheering us on back home.
Grace and Peace,
Jessica (on behalf of Team Guatemala)
