Finishing up my first week in Guatemala and feeling so grateful for this life I get to live. Our first week was just a lot of orientation about what we'll be doing and just about the culture of the country we're living in for the next 2.5 months.

One of the most new but freeing changes is having no Wi-Fi, and the only way I'm able to get Wi-Fi is on the weekends when I go and sit down at a coffee shop. Not having any connection shows me how much time I'm consumed by my phone and how I can get so much more done throughout my day by putting it down. I've had so much more intentional time with the Lord, with myself and the people around me. I'm able to be present and focus on what's in front of me.

Starting tomorrow is our first full week of ministry, I'm not sure what it'll consist of or how it will go, but I am so excited to see what God does and what I'll be learning. Continuously thanking God He put me here. I'm already loving this beautiful country and I'm so blessed I get to call this place home for the next little while.
