Compassion Visit!

Hello everyone! I'm feeling much better, which is really a blessing. Almost everyone gets sick on trips like these, so it wasn't that surprising.

Yesterday God really called my team to do the drama one extra time outside of the Guatemalan national palace. It was absolutely gorgeous! The palace was built by the Spanish, so it looks like a lot of European architecture. After we did the drama, a few of my friends and I went over to talk to a man who watched it. We had a good discussion about how God forgives all of our sins, and he ended up accepting Christ in tears. It was so amazing to see how joyful he was afterwards.

Today I met the girl I sponsor through Compassion International. She is fourteen, and her name is Anjelica. She came to the resort with her older sister, a woman from her Compassion project, and a translator. We walked around the resort and talked. It was rather awkward at first because we both were nervous, but we soon were chatting away. We ended up being able to spend about an hour and a half together. It was so awesome to finally meet this girl that I have been writing to for a year. At the end of our visit, we prayed for each other, and it was very moving.

Well, I should go now, but I love you guys! Please keep the prayers coming!

  1. Hannah, I am so glad that you were able to meet Anjelica! That is really neat. Were you able to talk with her in Spanish? Does she look like her pictures?
