A new beginning...: February 2012

Hello, again!

I've been trying to get better at blogging but there are so many things to do... and I'm still learning to prioritize things, the only thing I can say is that I'll try my best to keep you posted on what's happening.

It's been a crazy couple of months, God's blessings are overwhelming sometimes, specially when you realize you really don't deserve them. And there are some things that have been changing a lot too.

Let's begin with some news.

After serving at Shadow Of His Wings Orphanage for two years, I am now no longer part of their missionary staff. Those two years were amazing, one of the greatest experiences and blessings God has given me. But as always, God has other plans for me, and after praying for months God gave me the answer I was expecting.
So I moved out from Monjas, Jalapa, and I'm back in Guatemala city.

This has been sad and fun at the same time. Of course I miss my girls and friends, but I have been doing so many awesome things that all I can say is that I really see God in the midst of this situation.

After moving back to the city (literally a couple of days later) I was blessed by joining a missionary team in Managua, Nicaragua to help some orphanages and bless many women through the "Pure Joy" conference. Being this my first (on my own, not with my parents as a child) international mission trip, I've been thrilled ever since. We are already planning the next trip to Nicaragua, and in March I'm doing a medical trip in El Salvador. So, this is one of the many promises of God taking place in my life.

After the Nicaragua trip, I've been partnering with some awesome ministries to help them with mission trips in different areas in Guatemala (I'll talk a little more about these trips on my next blog).

I have been in my house for maybe a week since I moved in two months ago, so I can really tell you that God has been way too good to me. And even it's been just a week, I've been trying to get together with family and friends to enjoy the blessing of their company.

I'm trying to get better at blogging, and one of the improvements I'll do is that I'll blog more often but I will also post shorter blogs (cause I understand your time is more than valuable).

So, this is it for today.

Just know I thank the Lord for your life and I would love to hear from you or to receive a prayer request from you, or for you to partner with my ministry.

It will be a blessing to hear from you!

With two of the most amazing and anointed people I know, and I have the honor to call them friends and sisters! Sandy and Lu.

praying for this girl, she's 27 just like me, but was electrocuted when she was a child and stopped growing ever since. It's been hard, specially living in a rural area where everyone makes fun of her.
