As I prepare to fly to South Africa, my heart is full of mixed emotions. I’m so excited for this next adventure, but it’s hard to say goodbye to a place that has become so special to me.

Guatemala has been more than just a stop on my journey—it has been a home. From the breathtaking landscapes to the vibrant culture, and how this beautiful country welcomed me with open arms. I’ll miss the breathtaking mountains and volcano’s, the colorful markets, and the warmth of the people I met along the way. Every moment here, from the quiet reflections to the joyful laughter shared with friends, has left a mark on my heart.

I’m so grateful for the lessons I’ve learned and the memories I’ve made during my time here. Whether it was serving alongside incredible ministries, building new friendships, or simply soaking in the beauty of this country, Guatemala has given me more than I could have imagined.

Though it’s hard to say goodbye, I know this isn’t truly the end. Guatemala will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll carry the love, joy, and lessons I’ve found here with me as I step into this next chapter.

Now, as I prepare to head to South Africa, I do so with gratitude for what has been and hope for what’s to come. Please keep me in your prayers as I begin this new journey, and know that I’ll always hold Guatemala close.

Thank you, Guatemala, for everything. I’ll miss you dearly.
