Goodbye Guatemala




Hey y'all, it's Ashley Schippert. Today was our last full day in Guatemala. This morning/early afternoon we held a VBS at the orphanage. We probably had about 75 children. There were four rotations, futball, crafts, skit, and music. The kids heard the gospel two times during the morning. It went well and we will continue to pray that the kids understood what they were told and accept Christ. The afternoon was totally free and many people went to the orphanage so some of our ladies could give the mamas manicures. The mamas loved it.

Tonight we had a meeting and said our goodbyes. We shared stories and shared the awesome things that God has done in our lives through this trip. Praise the Lord for revealing Himself to us this week. I cannot thank you enough for your prayers. God's presence was in these places and within all of our hearts. Thanks again for allowing us this awesome privelege. I hope that you will be blessed, convicted, and encouraged by our stories. Ben shared this verse tonight, 1 Cor 12: 26 "If one member suffers, all suffer together, if one member is honored, all rejoice together." We are united together in these experiences and in the revealing of Him and His truths. Hope to see you all soon!

Thank you again for all the posts on your blog. It was interesting to hear
how God spoke to you in different ways and how you used his gifts to share his love with others. Praying you will have a safe trip home.

Sarah-- Tim wants to stay up all night to welcome you back. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning. Love, Mom
