Vanessa in Guate

"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." Ephesians 5:21 NIV We are called to be selfless and to serve (submit to) one another because Christ is our Lord. I truly believe that relationships can find healing when grace is offered and when love is extended sacrificially; where it is not necessarily deserved or earned. I am thankful that grace is offered and received, because we all are in need of it! I'm writing this today because I am so so thankful for everyone that God has placed in my life. One thing that I really love is beginning and growing in relationship with others. Today, I am specifically praising God for allowing me to love and be loved by so many! I miss friends and family in the U.S., but it is a huge blessing to even have people to miss! I am so grateful for every one of you who has chosen to partner with me as I serve with Mission Impact; whether that be prayer partnership or with financial partnership. Thank you for supporting

Hello! Just here to let you know about how things have been going. Spanish class is going really well! I'm just about halfway done, then I will be able to focus on serving at Proximos Pasos with  Mission Impact . I got to meet and fellowship with 12 out of the 15 missionaries/staff members of Proximos Pasos. The staff is very much loving and they told me that they understand the difficulties of leaving your country and your family while they continued to assure me that they are here for me and that they will be my family in Guate. We joined together to thank God for calling and encouraging all of us to serve and make disciples of the young girls at Proximos Pasos. I have been going to a church called Iglesia del Camino for the last three weeks, and it is becoming my home church in Guatemala. Iglesia del Camino has a great community that shares God's love while they seek Him together and spread the Gospel. I've been going to a weekly Bible Study where I am challenged
