Hello!
My time here in El Tizate, Guatemala has almost come to a close as we leave for Ontario tomorrow afternoon from Guatemala city. I am sad to be leaving here because of all the great people I’ve had the privilege of meeting and getting to know here, but I’m also very excited to return home to catch up with you, my friends and family.
All the programs that we’ve been running have now come to a close. Our last soccer camp consisted of a tournament where we handed out medals to the tournament winners and lots of candy to everyone. We have finished helping with construction of the school and the VBS’ have come to a close too. (Below is a photo from last week when we had the morning devotional up at the construction site of the new school.)
A Morning Devotional at the Construction Site of the New School
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday our team joined the school for their campamento spiritual retreat. The theme was “Adoradores in Espiritu y Verdad”, which means “Worshipers in Spirit and Truth”. This is based off Jesus’ words from the gospel of John where he says that “God is spirit and his worshippers must worship him in spirit and in truth.” The camp was put together excellently and God’s presence was manifested there again in ways that were new, strange and uncomfortable for me.
I’m finishing this blog right now on Wednesday evening. I’m back in Ontario for a three day debrief. I’ll write more about the campamento and what I’ve learned this summer soon.
cheers,
Steven
Welcome home, Stevie!
