A day off

so my very first team just left and I was sad to see them go, so many awesome memoreies already. I have a few days off before the next team arrives on Monday night and then back to work. I have been sick for about a week and have had a spider bite get infected and abcess and a bacterial infection and a parasite infections. I have been sleeping for about a week. Today I finally wanted to get out of bed and do something so I went out to lunch and running a few errands in Antigua and then home. I am trying to load some new pictures, we will see how they come out. I miss you all and thank you for all your support.

Shopping and working

so having a great time in Antigua with the group, shopping a stopping by the internet cafe. Things have been going so well and I can tell lots of people have been praying for me, I can feel God´s presence here in a big way. Thanks to everyone for all their thoughts and prayers. At the current time I am staying at Carlos and Telma´s which is where I got to stay last year, so that has been awesome. Working at the hospital has been good too. We were sitting and reading a children´s bible to some teenage boys and a woman touring the hosptial, stopped and blessed us and said she wanted to encourage everything we were doing and that were changing lives and to keep up the good work. It was so encouraging, thanks God, totally what I needed.

In Guatemala for 1 week

well I am having a good time and meeting lots of new people. We have our first team in and what do you know but some of them are from Grace community Church in Visalia, small world. So anyways I am having a great time working at the hospital and stepping into my role a a leader, it has its problems but not many fortunately. thank you to everyone fr their prayers and support, it means so much to me here in Guatemala. I am going to try and upload some pictures but the Internet is really slow, so we will see how it goes.
Love you all

Sarah does Dallas (couldn't help myself)

Well I have arrived safely in Dallas and am waiting for my next flight (6 hours, uuurrrgggg). But I am in high spirits, I had a great flight over and things are going smoothly. I was able to rent a laptop which is cool so I can get online. So I just finished my last meal in America and I decided to have Mexican food, steak tacos, because in Guatemala they do not eat Mexican food, as many think, they eat Guatemala food, OK I'll get off my soap box now :). I made sure to eat steak too, because in Guatemala it all about the chicken. Which its a good thing I like chicken. Well I am so excited and ready to see all God has in store for me. I know it is going to be awesome, why else would he go to all this trouble to get me there.
For those of you who don't know, I was $400 short of raising my trip money and I took my jewelry to work and made $350 and got money from my grandma and all the money is raised. All at the last minute, what a crazy God, he likes to work that way, drives me batty sometimes but makes for some good stories.
I really want to thank everyone for all their support and prayers, I would not be here if you hadn't helped. Thank you for helping me see this dream through and believing that anything is possible.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
