Late Sunday Evening | Feb. 12th - Hey there was just an incident that happened here at the "Arkansas House" where we are staying for the week. I was down in my supervisors room talking and the 3 other girls who are with us were upstairs in our rooms talking. We heard a loud noise outside so we got up to look and about 5 seconds later we heard the girls come running down the stairs into the supervisors room saying they heard a noise on the roof and someone banging on a widow. They said it sounded like a human running on the roof. We called our security who lives here to check it out and he said that he has heard it before and that there is usually a cat on the roof. We don't know exactly what it was but he checked it all out and said everything looked fine. We are all scared to go sleep even though there are bars on every window of this hotel and doors so there is no way for them to get in. Please pray that we would all get some sleep and we are all scared that we know that Gods protective hands are surrounding us and this place!!
Saturday Morning | Feb. 11th - Buenos dias desde Guatemala!!! This evening we will be going to the local mall here to learn and see how different it is. We will hopefully be getting a chance to meet some people there and introduce ourselves to them. This is where all of the university students hang out (in the evening) and so I ask that you would pray for us as we go into the mall that the people there would see Gods light shine through us that we would get a chance to reach out to those in need. Thank for your prayers I appreciate them all, and I ask that you continue to pray for all of us here in Guatemala City.
Friday Morning | Feb.10th - Prayer time this morning for an hour by ourselves. I ask that u would please pray for each of us come closer to Him this morning. This afternoon we will be going to one of the universities for a prayer walk. I pray that would be in prayer with us thy God would use us in a mighty way to reach out to the young students. I ask that u would pray for God to keep us safe as we are prayer walking and that people would be able to the light of Him through us!! Thank you and God bless you all!!! All of your prayers I can definitely see that God is working here as all of your prayers have truly been answered! The 4 of us that are here in training together...we feel as if we have known each other all of our lives. Thank God for that!!! I can definitely tell that although 2 of them will be going to Lima in Peru on Tuesday for there journey that we will still be able to keep in touch!
