I still remember our first meeting 5 years ago in 2011 with Pastor Jorge, the founding pastor of the church with which we serve here in Guatemala.

This was my “complaint” to God during my daily devotional one day back in October. The day before we’d just had a meeting with Pastor Jorge about the Celebrate Recovery (CR) ministry for women.

Don’t worry we really were joking when we posted the “mugshot” pictures on Facebook the other week they actually were our passport pictures.
