hello all, guess what, I have the opportunity to go to guatemala (Lake Atitlan) mid june to mid july. A friend of mine has gone down there many times to volunteer with an organization down there that assits the community in construction,medical,V.B.S. and sports events to help build community. This summer the organization wants him to:
- facilitate the volunteer teams that will be going down there from the east coast
-put a promo video together for their org.
My friend asked me to join. This is not the first time I have traveled with this guy, he is a good friend, but this will be the first time out of the country for me since my accident and I need your prayers for :
health- last time I went to Guatemala I got a mean stomach parasite from eating popsicles that had some water in it. This time, I know not to touch water but I now have a side affect from Brain surgery that leaves me constantly thirsty. thirsty + parasite water = lame
plus all the normal precautions regarding health. I am assured it is a safe and beautiful place.
passport- I'm working on renewing my passport. This is a very spontanious trip and I realized that my passport expires this month (june). The only chance I have of getting it on time is to drive up to Seattle to renew it in person. My appt. is wed. morning, a friend and I will be driving up there tuesday night and I pray that everything goes well and I will leave with a passport in hand.
-cover this trip in prayer protection, that we would be a blessing to the teams and org down there.
-for food,housing,finances.....all to be provided and have Gods blessing on _______________________
-I now have airplane tickets from PDX to Long Beach, and, LAX to Guatemala. I leave on early tuesday in 8 days.
-I don't have a passport yet
-already have everything I will need to pack so there isn't any other rushing around (other than my final projects)
-after Guatemala, I plan to be in S. Cal. for my sisters birthday and possibly a bit longer depending on time constraints
