Lagomera Guatemala

The van pulled into a very poor area of town.  Some of the dirties little children you have ever seen where standing outside of the feeding center.  There were many bare feet running around the dusty streets.  In the van there were over 100 pairs of shoes that one of our teammates had sold as a fundraiser to raise money for her trip to Guatemala.  I saw tears begin to stream down the cheeks of the young ladies on the team.  These children love to just be loved on.  Dirty hands grabbed my shorts and tugged at my hands for attention.

We handed out candy and toy bags to these little ones. Then the shoes came out.  The children got really excited and smiles broke out.  More tears began to flow.   I was again reminded that everything we do must be to honor God.  These young ladies could have started judging and not wanting to get their hands dirty.  It was an awesome experience to see these wonderful young ladies be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Later the ladies painted the girls nails, made bracelets and cut hair. We played soccer and threw a styrofoam plane with the boys.  Great things are happening in Guatemala.  Please pray for all of the missionaries and nationals that are spreading the Good News of the Gospel there.
