I’m a little late writing this but better late than never. This is the longest period of time I’ve spent in a country outside the U.S. and I’ve loved every second of it. Guatemala is my favorite country ever and I really hope I get to come back here in the future.
I have grown so close to God and have learned so much about him during this time. It’s so awesome that I’ve been able to keep a consistent schedule in spending time with him. Reading the Bible in the morning and talking to him at night have allowed me to be poured into by God so that I can pour out everything I’ve taken in during ministry.
Some of my favorite memories from this past month have been cliff jumping at Lake Atitlan, hiking Acetenango, it’s an inactive volcano, and any time we get to have worship. I love worship time so much and love listening to worship music, it’s so fun.
We have exactly one month left here but because this past month has gone by so fast this next month will probably go by faster, which sucks. I want to stay here forever. There’s nothing I dislike about living here. But I literally wrote a blog about how time is Irrelevant with God so why am I even complaining? Sorry about that.
There are other ministry opportunities that I’ve learned about that could bring me back here. I’ll share those if any of them end up happening.i don’t want to get ahead of myself and say what I’m doing after the race. I want to go where God wants me to go. I’ve been praying for guidance for awhile and I still have six months left. I know God will reveal to me what he wants me to do next.
Man, it’s crazy to think about how much my life has changed this year. I can’t believe there’s only nineteen days left in 2021. This year has felt like a few months but at the same time, a few years. This has easily been the greatest year of my life and I can’t wait for what 2022 and God has in store for me.

Merry Christmas!!

I’m reminded of David singing “Better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere.” You have come to a place of seeing the glory of God as a daily norm, and I am so excited as you go from place to place and get to see that carry over. He is always present and always working. Pray without ceasing. Rejoice always. Give thanks in all things. Do not quench the Spirit.
Love you Caleb! You are a man of God and as you abide and show up in readiness, the Lord will use you for greater things!
