Hi everyone!
Hope you are all doing well!
I know it's been a while since I have last updated so here is a quick "run down" of all the "happenings" from the last few months!!
November:
In November, the National Assemblies of God Church in Guatemala held a retreat for all the Pastors' Wives in the country. The womens' ministry from my church was asked to coordinate all the logistical aspects for the event. Over 800 women attended and it was a huge success! The women of Iglesia Vida worked diligently to ensure that the ladies were well taken care of. We had over 100 women volunteers from our church help out in the 3 day event. I can brag on these ladies ALL DAY! They were amazing!!! What a privilege it was for me to work along side these women who served so humbly and with such joy from before sun up to well after sun down!
December:
Early in the year, I felt led to organize a multi-generational womens event. Womens ministry (WM) in Guatemala is primarily for married women. I felt strongly that all women needed to be included in WM. I was given the opportunity to organize the event along with the WM leadership team. It was an incredible night! We had over 200 women from 13-80 worshiping God together, sharing a meal, and fellow-shipping. Debbie Amsler, an AG Missionary spoke on the importance of the older generation teaching the younger and declaring the works of the Lord to the next generation. We celebrated every generation represented and praised God!
In January, Evangel Assemblies of God from Buffalo, New York brought a team to work with us. Although most of the team came to do construction on the Bible School, we had the chance with a few ladies on the team to minister to some young ladies. We spent 3 days visiting a shelter for abused women. We did some crafts with them but most importantly we demonstrated the love of Jesus to them. We did devotions every day and prayed with them. At the end of the 3 days, 2 of the girls made a decision to accept Christ into their hearts.
Hope you are all doing well!

Mi Especial Tesoro Girls Home
December marked
the end of English classes at the girls’ home.
I was able to celebrate Christmas with them (a few days before
Christmas) and spend some time with each of the girls. They each received purses filled with both
necessities and some things for them to enjoy!
I will miss going to the home and seeing their precious faces weekly!
Thank you
Chicago Tabernacle Transformed Youth Ministry for sponsoring the girls
Christmas

This month, we have another team coming from
Ontario, New York. We will be
ministering in public schools and working with a church plant.
March
2nd, I will be speaking at an
event for young adult women. I am
looking forward to sharing God’s
heart for them!
Speaking of
March, I will be leaving the “land of
eternal spring” and heading back to “the
windy city” on March 5th.
My term here is ending, and I sense the Lord leading me back to Chicago
for an indefinite amount of time. I will
continue to take online classes and work on obtaining my ministry
credentials. I am looking forward to all
that God has for me in Chicago (not sure what that is yet, but I know it will
be GOOD!!!)
I want to
thank all of you for your continued prayers and support. Please remember me in your prayers as I end
my time here and prepare to return to the States. I look forward to seeing many of you upon my
return!
Pa’ Lante y
Pal Cielo!
