Hello From Guatemala

I am learning so much on this trip. I am seeing firsthand how God works through others and how much he cares for his people. Every patient that I see changes me in some way. I love listening to the people of Sumpango, even though I do not speak very much Spanish. I have been doing blood glucose tests, urine tests, blood pressures, and taking pulses. This experience is definitely going to help me as a future nurse, not only because I am gaining experience in medicine, but also because I am gaining experience on how to treat each and every patient the same and with compassion. Every member of our team contributes something different. We would not be able to help all of these people without each and every one of our team members. I believe that I have become close to all of the members on this team. I am having a blast, caring for people in need, and becoming closer to God. I especially enjoy the worship and devotions that we do as a team every morning and night. I have found that I love singing worship songs, whether I am actually good or not. I have been considering becoming part of the worship team at Woodlands for over a year now, and now I believe that I have been called to act upon that thought. I talked to Anna-Cheri about the worship team, and she said that it will not take up all of my time, which was my main concern. When I get back to Wisconsin I am going to get in touch with the worship pastor Doug Allord and hopefully get hooked up with the worship team. God bless every one. We will see you all in just over 3 days!!! J Please pray for the team, that everyone remains healthy and we get home safely.
