Not only was this Day 1, but it was my first mission experience, and what an AMAZING experience it was! I was fortunate to be able to interact with many of the patients….. thanks of course to my gracious translator, Jessica. Although I was administering the PHQ, depression screening questionnaire, and heard some sad stories, I was so blessed to be able to pray together with the patient, Jessica, and sometimes other family members. We would pray for God’s healing, strength, patience, and most of all His LOVE.
Throughout the entire day I could feel God’s presence; from the morning prayer, devotional and beautiful song, sung by two of the physicians, and on throughout many of the visits and prayers with patients. Even as I sat exhausted counting pills with my fellow missionaries, I could feel God moving through us..especially the multiple times I poured out the capsules in the EXACT amount I needed – thank you LORD! What a blessed day indeed – I laughed, I cried, and I yawned…. more than once.
I am heading to bed with the most beautiful memories….and cannot wait to do it all again tomorrow!

So amazing, Tracey! What a gift it is to share your heart and God’s unending love with the patients you encountered today.. may He be glorified in all you do! I know you all are making eternal differences in the lives of so many. Thank you for loving our Guatemalan brothers and sisters so well! Hi to all my usual summer people, such a joy to see you all serving together. To the new team members, make sure you pressure Laura into buying you cake or ice cream or donuts sometime soon! Hugs to you all, I’m praying for each of you individually as you serve this week.
Tracey, thanks for sharing the experiences of your day. Every time the team is in Guatemala I can’t wait to read the blog. I am praying for all of you. May God grant you health and rest.
