This one is about Taylor. She has a tradition of going on a mission trip each year right after school is out. 2 years ago she helped rebuild a hiking trail at a camp in Colorado. Last year she worked in a homeless shelter in Washington, D.C. This year, after 4 years of Spanish, she decided to head south. She left Sunday the 10th headed for Guatemala where she is helping build an orphanage. Here she is giving a testimony of her faith at a special church service after their arrival (Taylor is in the middle):
Her entry in their blog today went like this:
"Hey Mom, Dad and friends, it's Taylor. Wow - we have already done so much with these people! The kids here are so loving the whole drive up this mountain the kids would chase after our bus and wave to us with such joy for they know how much we Americans can do for their city! The kids cling to you and just are so excited to be with you! Last night we had a 3 hour church service we presented the mime and we did a puppet show for the kids! We also got to see how they worship God - it was amazing! I also had the chance to be the first one to share my testimony. I read it in English, Josh translated it into Spanish and then their pastor translated it into Ceche! It was amazing. I love listening to people speak Spanish! Now we’re off to do some service work I’m excited to see what we will be doing in this community to help better them! I miss being home and I miss all of my friends, but I love you all and I’m doing well! With much love, Taylor"
