Guatemala Mission Trip – Day 5: Home Visits 4-6 - Part 2

August 2017

Day 5 took us into the heart of the countryside for a series of home visits—always one of the most challenging and meaningful parts of the trip. You never know who you’ll meet or what stories you’ll hear, and each visit leaves a lasting impression.

I’ve often said that Guatemala can feel like living in poverty with a million‑dollar view. The landscape is breathtaking: volcanoes rising in the distance, the scent of wood fires drifting through the air, and some of the most beautiful surroundings I’ve ever seen. Yet behind that beauty are families facing daily hardship with strength and grace.

I often wish I could spend a full week simply living among these remarkable people. There’s a saying that to truly understand someone, you must walk a mile in their shoes—and these visits bring that idea to life in the most profound way.

If you ever have the opportunity to go on a mission trip, I can’t recommend it enough. The experience is truly life‑changing.

These encounters and the stories shared with me have shaped my music in ways I never expected. I’m deeply grateful to every family who welcomed me into their home and allowed me to carry their stories forward.
