Isaac's First Missions Trip!


Several months ago, my sister Kelli and her husband Rick invited Isaac to go to Mexico with them on the missions trip with their church in Missouri. Of course we accepted the invitation and have been looking forward to it ever since.
Isaac is 14 yrs. old and has been blessed with a servant's heart. My prayer is that during this week in Mexico, God will light a fire in him for the lost.We met up with the Tri-City bus at 4:30 a.m! Everything came together without a hitch and we were able to visit for a few minutes. That was the hardest part because I haven't seen my big sis in a year and I wanted so badly to take her to my house and visit for hours on end!! I had been preparing myself for this feeling, but it didn't help much! If you notice the look on Kole's face, you can see how sad he was to have his big "bruddy" leaving.... he sobbed in the car before Isaac left! Poor guy! Isaac told Kole he could sleep in his bed while he's gone, so that has been some consolation. Kole saw the picture as I did this and said it made him feel sad to see Isaac.
We will have no contact with them until they cross back over the border on Friday! I know God is watching over them and I will turn my concern into prayer. I'm so excited to hear all the stories and hope he keeps some kind of journal to refresh his memory.
Thank you Lord for giving Isaac this opportunity.
