I have been thinking a lot lately about the mission trip to Juarez, Mexico that I go on every year to build houses for some families who literally have nothing. I cannot wait to go back. This may sound wierd, but that week of intense physical labor, blinding sand storms, bucket showers with water that will make you sick, and little sleep gives me more rest than most other weeks in the year. Most of it is that I spend the time with great friends and enjoying fellowship with them and God for a week. Not to mention doing God's work and seeing His influence on other people's lives....crazy!!!
I think that we should build eight houses and spend at least two weeks there. Brent....get on top of that...actually I hear that Nathan might be in charge of it this year. I would like to see a schedule and expected cost on my desk by wednesday.
