I knew that taking a missions trip to a foreign country would be a complex, involved process of details...but come on! This is insane! I packed way too much stuff in a backpack that weighs over 40 pounds and there is a constant stream of trip details that must be dealt with on a daily basis. Who in their right mind would put themselves through this?

It may be insane, but is first and foremost incredibly awesome, that is, the God kind of awesome. We know that He has commissioned this trip and has the results in his hand. Just being a part of God's plan to reach the lost people in this part of the world is absolutely amazing. Yes, it is worth the insanity of details!

Dear Lord, guide our every word and our every action while on this short trip, prepare the people ahead of time that you would have us talk to, soften the hearts and clear the minds of the Guaymi Indians, change hearts and lives, both theirs and ours. I know this is your will. Amen.
