Greetings from Guatemala!

HIIIIIII, I didnt actually think Id be able to update this while I was in Guatemala, but here I am! YAY.

Gonna keep this short since I shouldnt be on the computer too long.

Guatemala is beautiful. The YFC staff is amazing. The weather is beautiful. I experienced the craziest and hardest thunderstorm and torrential rainpour in my life here. Five seconds after I got out of bed this morning, my roommate saw a cockroach crawl out from my sheets (awesome). I sang on a national television program and the YFC director said that a couple million people were watching. (The channel and show also airs in the US apparently). We do about one to three concerts a day. Ive had a lot of conversations filled with a lot of awkward smiling, bad spanish, and bad english. Ive been asked for my autograph a lot which I dont like so much.

But thats only a really little picture of this so far. As for the more important stuff goes...

INTERESTING REALIZATIONS
1. I greatly enjoy interceding for the kids during the message portion of our concerts. Since I cant totally understand the Spanish message, Ive found myself praying instead. I felt like it was super important to be doing that, and Ive been praying consistently with one of my teammates Chris and sometimes other people join us. I realized a couple of days ago that I put music ministry and prayer ministry together as a result of being on woteam at UCLA. I miss that. I love that the woteam last year in particular was so genuine and sincere in wanting to pray and intercede for the fellowship. Im glad that has been able to influence me here.

(PAUSE, APPARENTLY WE ARE GOING TO A MOVIE? GOTTA GO!)
