see you later

Wow, The 3rd team has come and gone. What a wonderful group of people, again! God has done amazing things here this week also! He has changed lives and people won't be the same; the Guatemalans and the team members and myself! During the second medical clinic I was saying goodbye to the Guatemalans at the village, and God brought to my mind the fact that we, as Chrstians, never say goodbye. We WILL see each other again in Heaven! The next day during devotions, one of the team members talked about that same thing. She said that her grandfather would never say goodbye, he would say "see you later." What a wondeful thing! And so I started thinking back to all the Guatemalans I have seen, cried with and hugged and knew that one day, one GLORIOUS day, I will see them again in Heaven! And there we will be able to converse with each other without a lanuage barrier! I thought about the family I had met at the second medical clinic with the first team. The family with 3 little boys who will now grow up knowing Jesus Christ. I thought about the girl who I prayed with at the 4th village, who is now my sister in Christ. I thought about the older women I prayed with and hugged at the 6th village. And one day, I will see them ALL in Heaven! I also thought about the 3 teams so far and how I will never see some of them again but ONE GLORIOUS DAY we will praise our Heavenly Father together in Heaven! "Amen, Come Lord Jesus." Revelations 22:20
