Welcome friends, family, teachers, coworkers, and neighbors. As we head out tomorrow for our week long mission trip to Guatemala, we want to thank you for supporting us through donations and prayer. Please pray for our safety, team unity, and willingness to obey. Last year I (Maddie) went on this same trip with my older brother, Will. It was a little scary because it was my first time on a plane, going out of the country, and leaving most of my family many miles away. We have many new additions to our team this year, 32 to be in fact. Our team is big and diverse; ages from 10 all the way to however old Jean is. I look forward to serving with new and excited people willing to expand His Kingdom. Since we have such a large team, this gives us the opportunity to stand along different team members as we split into two groups each day. God has preplanned these teams and the villages we are going to, so we are anticipating God moving every step of the way. The lessons I have learned and the experiences I had last year really and truly changed my life. I grew closer to God and realized many things about myself I never knew. My eyes and my heart have been opened to knew opportunities and gifts I didn’t know of a year ago. To know that so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ get to experience and grow in their relationship with Him and realize His greatness just excites and amazes me. We are all looking forward to what God does through us and for us. Stay tuned each day throughout the week to get a glimpse of what is happening and how you can pray. Thank you again for all that you do for us!! Have a blessed day!!
