Greetings from Tactic!
Yesterday was a busy day at the clinic. The team is incredible, the team is working as a well oiled machine. Praise the Lord that nobody has gotten sick and we all have had a great time enjoying all the food prepared for our team by Claudia and Evelin, two precious sisters in Christ working in the ministry of hospitality of Impact Ministries.
Yesterday, our day started with a visit to the Church of XiChim. This is a catholic church built in the top of a hill from where the view of the town of tactic is breath-taking. Here, Les Peters explained the meaning of such name and how syncretism is still a problem among the Mayan community to see the truth about Jesus Christ as the only way to be forgiven and have new life. Our team also had the opportunity yesterday to go and visit the hospital of Coban. This is a public hospital providing maternity and pediatric services. This is always a difficult time for many. Nevertheless the opportunity we had to pray for every sick child was simply amazing. God is good and yesterday we saw His grace and love for this beautiful children and families. The same Love He has for me and you.

All is good. Today we will have a long day at the clinic and we are expecting to see 70 patients! Please keep our team in your prayers, pray for physical strength, safety, but most importantly that in all we do we can bring Glory to God!

Your brothers in Christ,
Emma and Eduardo

Hey Mom! I am alive! So far, our trip to Guatemala has been incredibly beautiful and humbling. After a long night spent sleeping in the airport, I have become a professional at sleeping on planes and bumpy car rides (there are no speed limits).  I am so blessed that the people of Tactic have welcomed us so warmly into their community. It is still early in our trip, but we have had two days of work in the clinic. We have also done several home visits, school visits, and church visits. Our team went shopping in the local market. We also went hiking in a sink hole, and my clumsy self managed not to fall. Also, Dad would be proud that our interpreters are helping me with my Spanish. My Spanglish is muy bien! I am excited for the adventures to come. I am thankful for God's provision. With all my love, Kayla.

"Flexibilidad"

One of the first Spanish words you learn on a missions trip is "flexibilidad" (flexibility)... this trip is no exception! Due to weather conditions and the fact that the Guatemala City airport closes at 11pm, our plane isn't able to leave tonight. We will see what the plan is once we get off the plane (been waiting patiently since about 6:15 to take off). Always an adventure!

Heyy, we're alive! And very much off the grid. I won't repeat too much of what Kayla said since she explained what we have been up to the last few days but I did want to mention that this morning we had the opportunity to go to two of the schools that Impact Ministries runs in the Tactic area. At the first school we participated in morning devotions with the elementary school kids, who were very loud and enthusiastic about praising the Lord in song!! Then we went to another school where we got to meet one class of 10 students and their teacher. We played some games with them and shared chocolate-covered fruit as snacks. It was a blast to play with these kids and see their excitement about our visit. I love how excited they are to come up and give us hugs, smile at us, ask us questions even when we can't understand them, giggle with us, and take our hands and make up games to play. We had lots of fun and are now going to be working in the clinic for the afternoon. Thanks ...
