1 Peter 4:11
"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
Well, we started the trip off with a bang...literally! Just as we got into the Katy area, a rock flew through one of the front windows of the bus, shattering it and sending glass flying all the way to the back. We pulled into the Wal-mart at Katy Mills and the wonderful staff at the lu
be center vacuumed out the bus and helped us tape up the window.

Once again, we pulled over - only to find that we didn't have a spare! Again, the Lord took care of us and sent two sweet men from Munoz Road Service to switch the tire for us.

Most of us who braved the bus were complaining and whining about the heat and discomfort, but our pastor, Dr. Moody, made a wonderful point - he said that once we got into Acuna and saw the conditions that these people were living in, we would change our thoughts about our comfort. I was completely humbled.
This is my first mission experience. No matter how much I think i am prepared, I know that I will see and experience things that I could never imagine. In fact, I am praying that God will use this to humble my spirit and make me more appreciative of what I have.

Please continue to in prayer for our safety and that the Holy Spirit will work through us as we serve the people of Acuna over the next few days. Also, please pray that God will use this experience to change lives - not just those that we will serve, but ours as well.

It is so cool that you are documenting this! I will continue to pray for y'all's physical safety, protection from spiritual attacks, and that God would use y'all to change lives for His glory!
