The second meeting

Last night was only the second time that we met as a full group, or as close to a full group as we can get. Our Physician's Assistant who will be coming on the trip with us was there last night and was able to meet us students. We went over some of the old business from the last meeting and handed out some new forms. We began the evening in God's word with a devotion. Then we discussed what we are looking forward to on the trip, what we may feel threatened by, or things that we not have thought about learning before. Overall, there was a feeling of excitement among us all  to learn more about ourselves, our vocations, and our Heavenly Father. We brainstormed a few more fundraising ideas, and discussed the hygiene kits that we are going to bring. If anyone has any suggestions, or wants to donate anything, let me know! Keep praying for us as we continue to prepare for God to work through us in Guatemala.

Just the Beginning

Tonight was our first meeting as a group. You can already sense the excitement and passion that everyone has for this trip. Our first meetings are going to be a lot about getting to know each other, and preparing ourselves spritually and mentally for the trip. We discussed briefly what the trip is going to look like; but our main focus was on why we are taking the trip, what our individual roles may be, and how the Holy Spirit is going to work through us while we are down there. Keep us in your prayers as we continue to prepare our hearts and minds to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ in Guatemala.
