It doesn't feel real, but I have now been home from Panimaquin for two days. I was blessed enough to spend another ten days serving the beautiful people in that Guatemalan village. I cannot express the joy of returning to what now feels like home, and seeing the people that now feel like family. But it was absolutely incredible. God moved in mighty ways. We had a night watch one night in the church, and the whole place broke out in God's Spirit! There were people dancing, weeping, laughing, praying, singing, whatever! True freedom in the House of God. It was a beautiful experience. We were able to minister not only on the mountain, but to neighboring villages. In one instance, we had the privilege of ministering side by side with the youth discipleship group in Panimaquin. They preached a saving message of Christ to a group of children, and every kid in the room raised their hand when asked who wanted to accept the Lord!! I am constantly blown away by the wonderful love of God.
Though it is quite a quick transition back into life in the States, and school; there is not an hour that goes by that I do not remember the amazing opportunity I was given. And though it was another goodbye, this one was easier because the thought of returning in short intervals of time is now more tangible. Yet again, I cannot wait to return. :)

When I saw you had posted on Panimaquin, the FIRST thing I wanted to mention was your story with those children. I didn't know if you would talk about it, but I'm glad you did.
Those kind of moments are so powerful - where God is not only affecting you in a mighty way, but others. I thank God for the opportunities like that which He gives to us.
So awesome - I still think of Guatemala every day I am here. I want to go back desperately.
I loved looking at all the pictures of Panimaquin and all of your stories from there are so amazing! I'm so glad the three of you got to go again because it's awesome to see the love that you have for everyone there and how God uses that in so many ways.
You can't wait to return and I can't wait to go for my first time!
That is so awesome!!!
Me and the rest of my family went on a trip to India to do missionary work when I was younger.
It was amazing, the things we saw there! I think it's really great that you got to go there. I can't wait to go back to India either:-)
