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?!?
