Monday Minute for Missions - Guatemala

This time last year I was unwinding from a mission trip I took to Guatemala which forever affected the way I think I think about the world outside of the comfort zone.

Guatemala is a beautiful country -- beautiful mountains, beautiful Mayan temples/pyramids, beautiful culture, and so much more. I loved meeting the people there and I missed not going again this year due to my own financial situation this year; however, I have many photos that were just amazing and memorable that I reflect on often.

I have many tapes that I recorded sounds and voices of meetings and discussions that we had during our mission trip. I hope to be able to get them slowly translated through the Monday Mission Minute series I will do on this blog site. I really am looking forward to sharing reflections and transcriptions with you. If I can figure out the photo inserts on these blogs, I shall be sharing those with you as well.

The trip involved meetings with other preachers and Church programs, CEDEPCA, CESSMAQ, a women's coop making Guatemalan fabrics, a Mayan Priest, and many noteable villages. The trip was sponsored by the Presbytery Mission. It was a trip that I will certainly never forget the faces of the people I spoke too and saw.

I am looking forward to sharing with you my memories of the Guatemala trip. I wish I had known about these blogs back then; I would have certainly created my Guatemala diary log back then... :)

Hasta la vista!

ps I have decided to make this series its own blog from the original blog Bluebonnet Blooms!
