I'm not going to lie, over the past 12-13 days I've been thinking a lot more about the Lord's return. And I'll admit there's been a little fear, but I feel that this fear is more the fear of the unknown (we know what heaven will be like, yet we don't, does that make sense?) and not a lack of trust in God. But I have been re-evaluating some things, that's for sure.

I really covet all of your prayers. We leave on Thursday for Kenya for over two weeks, then I return for two days and head to Toronto for the Int. AIDS Conference. I'm excited for both, but this is my first time leading an adult mission trip (I've been a leader of three youth missions trips and a co-leader of one adult trip, but I have little responsibility in the latter). I'm struggling making sure that everyone has an enjoyable experience while at the same time accomplishing the mission we set out with. Then there's being in charge of all of the money, making sure the plans are set, etc. Anyway, your prayers are appreciated!
