This is my blog post from June 23:
I decided to ask everyone on the team what their favorite thing is about Guatemala so far. I thought it would be interesting to also ask them about the most unusual thing they had seen or done.
My favorite thing about Guatemala:
(Since the majority of the team named “the people of Guatemala”, I asked them their second favorite thing. It’s in parentheses.)
Susan-When the plane lands. Getting here.
Maia-Connecting with the people. (Stretching my creativity to think of 6 and a half hours of funny stories on the way back to the ministry center.)
Jack-Hearing funny stories on the long car rides to the clinics.
Samantha-The people of Guatemala. (Samantha wasn’t around when I asked for the second favorite thing.)
Bren-If you ever think of an embarrassing story about Jack, I’m sure that will be my favorite thing. My real favorite thing was seeing people be healed and becoming Christians.
Melissa-The people here. (The morning devotions.)
Lori-Meeting the people of Guatemala. (The drive to San Pablo. It was very bumpy.)
Haley-Meeting people in Guatemala. (Haley wasn’t around when I asked for the second favorite thing.)
Jace-Connecting with the people of Guatemala. (The “roller coaster roads”.)
Tracy-Reconnecting with the staff of Medical Missions Ministries and sharing the whole experience with my son Jack.
The most unusual thing about Guatemala:
Susan-I’ve been here many times so nothing seems unusual.
Maia-We had to use a bathroom with the door falling off.
Jack-Tortillas are served with every meal.
Samantha-The bathrooms. (When asked to elaborate she said, “That you had to bring your own toilet paper.”)
Bren-Seeing a man with evil demons inside him.
Melissa-In the clinic I examined a child with a nose mass. It didn’t look like nasal tissue.
Lori-Sleeping outside with the whole team.
Haley-All the physical contact.
Jace-Seeing the miracles.
Tracy-Wild pigs on the side of the road.
Don’t these lists make you want to come with me in the future?!?
