almost there

We leave in less than two weeks for Mexico. I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I'm trying not to have any expectations about the trip, which is kind of easy because I don't really know exactly what I'll be doing.
I think it's wonderful that Matt is going, partly because he's a really great guy but mostly because he speaks English. We are going to have so much fun.
It's so important to have people praying for us while we're gone. Here are some things to be praying for before we leave:
-pray that God will prepare us for what we will learn and how we will grow
-pray for unity and love for our short term team
-pray that God will humble us and give us servant's hearts
-pray for safe travel and good health

reminiscing

"This place is an oasis. I can only imagine the beauty God has for us in heaven. Right now we are sitting in the dining area; a straw thatched roof eating area in the midst of the lush trees. Some boys are playing the guitar and I can hear the waves crash as the sun tucks itself beyond the horizon."
