We’re home from our mission trip to Casa Angelina in Guatemala.\u00a0 What an unforgettable trip it was.\u00a0 We started the week off with a free day and we visited the black sand beach.\u00a0 It was very different from our beaches around here.\u00a0 So clean and beautiful.\u00a0 The waves were also very strong.\u00a0 We had a great time.\u00a0 The scenery in Guatemala is amazing.\u00a0 There are mountains and flowers every where you look.\u00a0 The weather was spectacular.\u00a0 Monday we went to Casa Angelina and were greeted by some very awesome kids who are so full of love it just bursts from them.\u00a0 After playing with the kids for a little while we were surprised with our assignment of combing lice out of the kids hair.\u00a0 Not what we were expecting, but we did it any way. They fed us amazing lunches every day we were there.\u00a0 They took us to visit the widow’s home that the team built last year and the family was so happy for the visit and the supplies that were brought to them.\u00a0 Tuesday we continued with the lice duty and then began digging a trench and building compost bins. The hostel we stayed at cooked us breakfast and dinner each day that was delicious.\u00a0 We worked on the trench the rest of the week and also cleaning the aquaponics house and planting flowers on a very steep hill to help stop erosion.\u00a0 We bought shoes and groceries for the widow’s family and brought the items to them on Friday.\u00a0 The family was so very grateful for everything that was done for them.\u00a0 The conditions they live in are unimaginable and these people are so full of genuine love, it is unbelievable.\u00a0 We take so many things for granted in our every day lives and this trip has really humbled me.\u00a0 God has blessed me in so many ways that I take advantage of.\u00a0 I had the time of my life serving with the TCPT Ripple Effect Missions Team.\u00a0 Each and every one of the members are so special and have hearts of gold.\u00a0 I can’t wait to serve with them again.\"casa<\/a> \"casa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
