“I was so blessed by my time at Agua Viva this year. It was my first time at the beautiful orphanage in Guatemala. I have been to several Latin American orphanages over the years and it was evident that God has his hand over the staff and children. The work that is happening over there is nothing but a blessing to be apart of.”
