El Faro

First off, sorry for not having blogged in about a month. I have been busy but now I am back!
Last week I had the opportunity to go to the Caribbean coast of Guatemala on a trip. We helped with dental clinics, painting a school, playing with kids, ect. It was a great trip! Here are some pictures from the trip...
The camp we stayed at was called El Faro. It was gorgeous!
We would take trucks out in the morning from El Faro to villages close by. While in the villages we did a lot including...
Painting a school with a team staying at El Faro.
Making braclets and painting nails.
Making balloon animals.
And helping with dental clinics.
The first picture is my mom cleaning dental tools and the second is Jacob (a kid from the team staying at El Faro) helping Dennis while he did dental work. My mom was a dental assistant almost the whole second day and I was a dentist assistant for a patient while the other assistant took a break. I cant wait to help with more dental clinics!

Then in the afternoons once we had returned to El Faro we had free time to swim in the ocean, play soccer, catch starfish, ect...
This is one of the many starfish we caught :) It was so cool, I had never seen a real live starfish before.
It was such an amazing trip and I cant wait to go back to El Faro! And I totally saw God all week whether it was in the beauty of the ocean, the smiles of the kids when we gave them a balloon animal or bracelet, the appreciativeness of the people getting their teeth worked on even if it hurt, or the joy of all the volunteers! I love seeing God EVERYWHERE!
Where have you seen God this week??
