Fear Not

Cried all the car ride to the city

Another year starts tomorrow and I am beyond excited and also so so scared, all my family just prayed for me and as each one of them asked God for protection, strength, guidance, boldness, and especially to be that light into a darkness place, I said to my self, "goodness you don't have anything to fear Anna, you've got the Lord your God by your side no matter what"

Be brave Anna, get courage and stand strong to what you believe, draw near to him and you will experience fulfilling life and peace!

Let your light shine through me!

Here's to a great year!!! ‪#‎fearnot‬

The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give THANKS for it and discover JOY even in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest Light to all the world. - Ann Voskamp

• 2 0 1 5 • = GRATITUDE

"Life is good Anna, give thanks to the Lord in all things, big or small, remember it's all because of Him"

The only way to find true happiness is by being thankful for what we have and to give honor and glory to HIM who gave us all that true life in Him!

Satisfaction is based in HIM ALONE! - A. M

Noche de Gala / Gala Night

 on the 20th of December we had a special night for the youth group, it was a night to celebrate Christmas and our last Saturday meeting of the year. we wanted to do something different and fancy this year and turned out to be a wonderful night. the whole purpose of the night was for everyone to invited and bring a friend, the talk was evangelistic and to real focus on those beautiful gifts that the Lord has giving us and most importantly the gift of salvation and redemption in Him. we had a beautiful time of worship and a delicious dinner and the talk after words and of course a photo booth. definitely a night to remember for our youth group.

big thanks to everyone who helped and was part of the whole night. 

we had a selfie challenge, so everyone was taken selfies and giving likes on istagram

Santa Curz Mission Trip

Last week Enid and I were invited to interpreted at a mission trip in Santa Cruz. about thirty north Americans came to organize a vbs and a youth camp for the people from Quiche. it was my first time meeting this group of people and i didn't know what to expect, all thoug i was way to excited to go to the lovely land of quiche! let me tell you, it was way more than i could never expected! I'm so thankful for the big opportunity of serving my beloved Guatemala with a wonderful group of north americans who have a big heart for Jesus. Every single people i met during this week was a true inspiration! I'm an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences, and this one was one of those!. The best part is that i got to learn more about God's character and i will forever be thankful for that.

The first three days we help with the vbs. the kids were more than adorable and i count`t stop smiling from seeing their beautiful faces.

this three siblings! oh my heart... Seeing them together all the time and taking care of each other with such attention, patients and kindness was seeing love in all it's expression. 

i was helping Lisa in the craft room. it was so inspiring to see such beautiful and creative crafts made by the kids

the last day we had over one hundred kids

 on thursday we walked around, went to the market and in the afternoon we did evangelism in the central park of Santa Cruz

watching and being part of something like this was a true gift from the Lord. shearing the gospel to the people was so powerful and there are no words to describe seeing people come to Christ and leading there lives to Jesus. this little guy over here was ready to share the gospel to anyone. He was brave and he knew what he was saying, he wasn`t afraid or nervous, he understands the gospel and he wanted to share it. seeing this boy do that and pray for this old man was so convicting.

this sunrise...so beautiful! 

i also got to see my sweet and special friend, Natalie while i was there.

Friday morning we went to Casa de Mi Padre and spend the morning playing with the kids. the older girls braid all the girls's hair and the boy's played soccer.

they also came to celebrate Christmas for the kids at Casa de Mi Padre. it is a special night were we have a fancy dinner and then the kids sing Christmas songs and received their presents. 

An evening filled with joy!
