Telehealth Clinic – Day 3
It was another great day as our team was able to care for over 100 patients. We have an incredible team both here and in Guatemala who have put in countless hours to make this happen. I love what one of our amazing ministry partners, Wendy, had to say about the week so far: "This week has been the result of many weeks of planning and praying! If you
Going to a Wedding……and I’m going to get Married………
Today was the most amazing day!!!! We started the day off running around Honduras preparing for four weddings. We went to a store that was like a Zurcher's, and then went to a store that was like Costco (it was owned by Costco) to get all of the decorations and supplies for the Weddings. We then headed up the mountain to see the community we have been so blessed by. As we got there,
Day 2: VBS and Wedding Prep
Traveling abroad is amazing. There is so much of the world to see and experience. Most of us do it with loved ones and for the purpose of vacation and too have fun, but not many get to experience the power of a mission trip. Fully engaging yourself into another culture to help the community is an unforgettable journey. The church family we spend time with throughout the day has had more impact on
Day 1 Reconnecting with our Family
This post by Ali Today was the first day that we got to go to the church and spend quality time with the people here. It was a day full of the sweetest reunions and the meeting of new lifelong friends. The church is up on top of a hill. To get there, we took a bus to the community to the bottom of the hill and then walked up to the church. From

Prayer is all you need!
Today was Ray and my last day of clinic, which was very bittersweet. Thinking back to one week ago when the team all met each other in Atlanta seems like a different lifetime. We all arrived as strangers, but came together as a strong team serving God and the people of Guatemala. We were happy to have had such an amazing first trip, and being the newbie travel nurses from Michigan, we were so
God is Here
This is my first experience here in Guatemala. I didn't know what to expect. What I didn't expect is the conditions the people here live in...and despite that they are a happy people. My first day I found a baby, of course. We have had long days, but they are very rewarding to be able to help these precious people. I am so impressed by our amazing team, they are all so amazing and
Praising God for all He does!
Good Sabbath evening, my heart is very full today and tears are flowing freely as we had a wonderful day of service to the beautiful Guatemalan people. Yesterday was my niece Kristen's funeral. She fought retinal blastoma for 48 years. She dedicated her life to service and sharing the light of the Lord through sharing her trials through books she has written and lecturing around the country and teaching how we can find holy
Until we see you again, God be with you
We all made it safely home. Thank you so much for your love and support. We have loved sharing this experience with you. It was just a glimpse, but we hope you felt the joy in our hearts. Any of us would love to talk about the trip in more detail and show the hundreds of pictures we took. If you want to know more, reach out to any of us. We want to
Happy Mayan New Year!
This was our day of rest as a team. We started out with blissful sleeping in. Breakfast was 8:30. An hour and a half later than usual! We enjoyed the wonderful food from Maria Jose together and then crammed onto the colorful bus with purple tassels decorating the interior. We climbed up a mountain to the Iximche (pronounced Ish-EEm-Chay) ruins. They are Mayan ruins from the 1400s. Apparently, the area was home to around
