Well here it is the night before we leave on our journey to El Porvenir, Mexico. Our final destination will consist of three days of road travel under brutal conditions. I'm not talking about the 110 degree desert heat, or bumpy roads! I'm talking about being in a rental van with ten of your soon to be best friends! Like I said..... Best friends! If your not friends you will be after this expedition to Mexico.
This is my second adventure to Mexico with the Pikes Peak Christian Church (Widefield) and they are the most awesome caring group of individuals I have gotten to know over the years. I could think of no other friends that (other than my wife or daughter) I would want to travel with.
Now as for tomorrow.... I feel a little uneasy about going. Simply because it's out of my usual comfort zone. That always changes as we get moving along and I realize that it's too late to turn back. More importantly I know that I was guided to participate and to grow in many ways by going on this adventure.
My wife told me tonight that people always dream of going on a trip such as this. I agreed, and I have been blessed to go for a second time. The thought of the children at the orphanage and the friends I left behind last year motivate me so much.
Well, time to get to the last bit of packing and to get some sleep. I certainly won't have the best sleep for the next ten days, but everything else will just be amazing!
Pray for our safety!
