This time of year, I go in search of projects for the step teams who will visit in the following year. I really enjoy meeting churches and organisations who have a vision, and are reaching out to their community, who are working hard - and are keen to partner with others to complete their task. It´s those sort of churches or organisations who really benefit from receiving a Step team - but who are also really instrumental in caring for and discipling the team members that come.
This time I was visiting a church with a very active after school programme for 250 children, as well as involvement in the local community with sustainable agriculture and reforestation projects. It´s in a village called Buena Vista (= Good view) - and it´s certainly well named!
It was also a great chance for me to spend a couple of nights in San Pedro La Laguna - maybe my favourite place in Guatemala - and have a couple of swims in the lake.
It always amuses me to travel at this time of year as well. It´s more or less time for the maize to be harvested and from the bus window it often looks to me like there are shiny mirrors floating in a sea of maize -- it´s actually the aluminium roofs of houses which get dwarfed by the maize reaching the roof height.
