I can't believe I'm leaving on Friday to head to Mexico! This will be my first mission trip experience, and it's going to be in another country. Cool!
There are so many details, so many little loose ends to tie up. I have a sneaking suspicion though that all the effort will be worth it and that once I'll go, I might not want to ever stop doing mission work. I mean, really every believer in Christ is called to be a missionary. I'm called to spread his the message of his love and grace right where I am. However, It's going to be mind-expanding, I think, to do something to spread his message in another part of the world. It might be the little things, like listening to someone tell their story, or just playing a game or a giving a smile; but I hope that I can do something to show Jesus to the people I meet and the people I go with.
It's like a speaker at Creation said one year (was it David Nasser?): once you see that [referring to people meeting and accepting Jesus Christ], you never want to see anything else.
After all, what could be better?
