A year ago, I went to San Andres (a place in northern Guatemala, up by Mexico) with a team from Minnesota to be their translator. The team was going there to build a church for a pastor and his family who lives there. While we were there, we were able to do a small vbs for some of the kids who live in the area, and I was the translator for that. We got quite a bit of the church built while we were there, but it was finished after we went back home.
In November, the woman (Dot Schmidt) who led the team last year came to our house to drop off some things from my grandparents. She had come back to Guatemala for the dedication of the church that was now finished. When she came to our house, she asked me if I would go with her to San Andres again to be her translator. I said yes, packed my bags, and left 15 minutes later! This time, it was just us. She didn’t bring a team down.
While we were there, we went to the dedication and did a lot of prayer walking. We were going to do another small vbs, but that didn’t work out. Also, Dot asked me to co-lead a team to San Andres next year to do a vbs and I said I would. I`m pretty excited about that!

Sounds like hard work. Translating can take a lot out of you I would think. Good job at persevering and doing the Lord's work. Blessings.
It's a big task but you are really very capable. I look forward to better the ever November VBS and time up in San Andres with you and "the team" Alica. I am counting on God blessing us again!
