Five, just five little days and we are on a plane to McAllen, TX to meet with and spend a week with the group at Isaiah 55. In a word, nervous! No, I need more words. Excited, scared, happy, anticipating, enthusiastic! Did I say nervous? What about excited?
Anyway, you get the picture. It is a whirlwind. So please, if you think of us this week, pray for our trip. We will be staying the week in Mexico and working some with Isaiah 55. This is also an informal time of interview for both parties. We will begin to see if we think we can truly find a place for ourselves there in the ministry being done in Reynosa. The folks from I55 will begin to see if they believe we should be there, if there is a service we are being called to among them and their current or future work. Please pray for wisdom for all of us. Also, pray for travel protection, and please pray for our safety in Mexico. There has been some trouble recently, shootings and such, so please pray for God's mercy. Not just for us, but for I55 staff and family, the people at the school, and for all of Reynosa, MX.
On a side note we have officially announced our intentions at church and with the people Ryan and I work with. So, feel free to invite anyone to visit the blog now. We appreciate all prayers and I would like to see this become a community not only in support of us, but also in support of Isaiah 55, MTW and wherever else this journey may lead us all together.
Thank you all so much for all your prayers and love so far!
