Hello from Guatemala!
First, a little bit about Guatemala; it's so beautiful here! There are almost daily thunderstorms, the sun is super intense, there are mountains and volcanoes everywhere, the weather is so nice and the culture is so welcoming! It's so beautiful and I am so amazed at all of the beauty and kindness in this wonderful country.

For our ministry we are blessed to be working with a non-profit called One Way Community here in Guatemala. One Way is an organization dedicated to improving the education, nutrition, health, recreation, and houses/living conditions here for the whole families in some of the more rural communities. We have been given the extraordinary opportunity to help them start up 2 new locations about 12 or 13 hours away from Antigua! We got to see how the organization runs in their 2 of 3 current organization back near Antigua and on the 23rd we moved (for the next month) to a little city called Poptun, Peten.

Now we're working in 2 little community's called Vista Hermosa and Sabeneta. We spend the first 4 hours of our day in Vista Hermosa where we do worship songs (with dances), Bible stories, games, soccer, teaching and so much more! Then we head out to Sabaneta to do it again:)
It's been amazing and heartbreaking at the same time to see how much joy these kids have from so little. In Vista Hermosa there are no teachers so I am working with a group of about ten 3, 4 and 5 year olds learn their primary colors and numbers and in Sabeneta I am specifically helping in crafts and art! It's been so great to be working with kids again:D

It's physically tiring but I know that this is worthy work and our ministry partners have been so amazing with helping translate for us, being so selfless, caring for us, teaching us and in general being awesome people.
We've been here less than a week but it's been so amazing to me to see how the Lord is working in these places, kids, parents, the hosts, my team and I.
Please continue to pray for these communities and our team as we continue to serve the communities of Poptun, Peten.
Love, Jordan
