Guatemala update #4

Hey everyone!! :)

I pray this blog finds you all doing well! I have good news to share---I am FINALLY feeling better, praise the Lord! This has been the first day of our entire trip that I've actually felt okay! Crazy!
Literally the night we got here, I got sick. I hate the devil. My fever is gone and the body aches are almost gone! Please pray for strength, as I am still pretty weak. Also, please pray that my coughing ceases because there is SO much "junk" in my chest. Okay, enough about me :)

Today was the big skate outreach! :) The missionary family does this weekly and it is their main ministry here. It was so cool to see 70 skateboarders all in once place. These kids are FEARLESS! Well at least they act like they are, haha. I did get on a skateboard once but it wasn't pretty. lol
The outreach was from 2-5 and included a message about the Lord and free snacks. Chris and I got to serve where needed and be an extra set of "eyes" as there is a lot to watch out for--fights, robbery, etc. The guys were all so nice though but they didn't speak English..boo! I'm already excited to go back next week! Please pray for the Virags (missionary family) because they really need Guatemalan people to step up and be leaders and help them! We as short term missionaries can only do so much--serve while here, bring much needed supplies, encourage the missionaries, etc. but they truly need more long term help here. Anyone have a heart for teens/and or skateboarding?! THEY NEED YOUR HELP!
I've been hearing them talk about how they need help but today I saw it in action.
In other news--I ventured to my first Guatemalan market today! And I lived to tell about it! lol
I bought the cutest piece of pottery for less than $2 US! woo hoo! It's like non-stop clearance shopping here. Lol! I went with Chantelle (missionary mom) because she needed to buy new dishes...it was so fun!
Okay, I would write more but dinner is ready (mmm Chili)
Love to you all!
ps. anyone reading this?!
