STORIES OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS

AND EVERY DAY LIFE IN GUATEMALA

¡HOLA!

Welcome.

I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this little corner of the internet. Never in all my days did I imagine I would leave the familiar behind and plant my life in Guatemala, yet here we are.

The road to this moment began when I first set foot in Guatemala at 18. I had no idea then how God would weave that one month into the story of my life—or that, years later, He would lead me back to build a life there.

VEN CONMIGO

Come along for the journey.

This Guatemalan Life is where I’ll share stories and glimpses from this new chapter in Guatemala: everyday relationships, ministry and community, lessons learned, answered prayers, and moments of unexpected beauty. I’ll also introduce you to some of the people and organizations I have the privilege of serving alongside and learning from.

My hope is to embrace this season with love, humility, and intentional presence, caring well for the people and places around me and the life God has entrusted to me. Through these stories, I want to share the ways I see God's faithfulness in both the extraordinary and the beautifully ordinary moments of everyday life. Perhaps they will encourage you to notice God's faithfulness in your own journey too.

Whether you’ve known me for years or have simply stumbled across this website, I’m grateful you’re here.

Welcome to the journey.

Gratitude in Grief and Transition

I am no stranger to transition. As a child in a military family, I moved frequently throughout the US and internationally. As an adult, I have moved across the country multiple times and in and out of homes with roommates and family. Missional work has also taken me to many different places throughout my life. Transitions have always been, and likely always will be, a part of my story. Through them, I have learned a few things that help my mind manage the logistics, my body a

Swaying in the waves of change

I was recently sharing with a friend that my life feels like a boat swaying on the water. A canoe in the middle of a lake. Vulnerable. Open, yet somehow trustworthy on the water. As I paddle from the shallows into deeper water, I find myself sighing as I move farther from the shore, from the familiar life I have always known, and toward the unexpected horizon of new adventures and a life I am only beginning to discover. I’m in a season of transition. This season began last No

Why Guatemala?

As I sit down to write the first blog post of this brand-new website, at the cusp of a brand-new adventure across international lines and language barriers, I can’t help but swirl around the question: Why Guatemala? Anyone familiar with my story knows that I’ve had a love affair with Central America since I was a teenager. At 17, I joined our high school environmental group on a trip to the rainforests of Costa Rica—and fell in love. The culture. The people. The language. The
