Preparation

It is just 10 days till I head off to Argentina for two months and I am psyched. Lots of prayer, shopping, and packing fill my day as I get ready for this trip. Some verses that have been on my mind lately as I look forward to this trip are John 13:34-35 and Ephesians 6:19.

"A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" John 13:34-35

This verse I have been praying for our team this summer, that we would pour out love for one another and by that the people we meet would know that we are followers of Christ. Through this love we would be able to reach out to the people of Argentina.

"And also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel" Ephesians 6:19

I love this verse because it is exactly what I desire God to do, to give me the words to speak of the amazing love of Christ and what he did for us. I love that Paul calls the gospel a mystery because often times it seems just strange that God would work in this way but he did and I just desire for God to work through me in whatever way he desires this summer.

Well anyway I will try to write on this blog frequently this summer with updates of what is happening in my travels. I greatly appreciate your prayers and hope to include you as part of this trip through this blog.... :)
