Eating lunch at the pastors house!Ok...here is Chelsea to share about our time in Campur!!
Hey everyone! Campur was awesome, after the long bus ride we were greeted by Pastor Isabel of the church there. She is an amazing women, working so hard for the lord, and pouring her heart and soul into the ministry there. The first night we were there we attended the church service, which was great, I was lucky to have the chance to share my testimony and we even have a new pastor among us... Luke gave his first sermon on the power of prayer like a pro! The next two day we really began to meet the people of the Campur area, in the morning we went to two schools to share the story of creation with the kids, and more importantly we just played games and loved on them. All of the kids are so touching, they had so little yet when we gave them crayons they tried to give them back, not wanting to take what wasn't theirs. All of us had a great time singing our silly spanish songs and just hanging out with the kids. In the afternoons we went on home visits, after spliting into groups, we went out into Campur to pray for the people we met. One group went on an hour and a half hike to visit a 90 year old man and his wife, while another visited 8 different homes. All the people we met where so inspiring. We are awestruck by the purity of their faith. I think we were all touched by the passion they had while they were praying and crying out to God. It was heartbreaking to hear about the women whose husbands had to work away from home for several weeks while they ran the home. These people have so little in their homes yet they have so much in faith. Everything went well with only a small fear of rats and spiders! (Mainly us girls, but there was a huge spider in the bathroom!) On the ride back from Campur we stopped at a place called Semuc Champey, it is a place where a river forms several small lagoons. It was nice to have time to just swim and hang out in the beautiful lagoons, admiring the jungle around us. Well that pretty much sums up our time in Campur. (I know you all will hear loads more when we come home) Thank you for your prayers and please pray for our work in Guatemala City.

Thanks for the update - it's so exciting to hear how God is using you in the lives of the people in Guatemala. Thank you to the people there for taking such good care of you and allowing you to serve. I will continue to pray for you that you will be able to share the love of Christ to those you meet and can serve in such a way that others can see Christ in the flesh through you. Much love through Christ to all of you.
