Heading home today, and I am ready. I miss my life as a non missionary, but I hope that I head back a changed man. More willing to live out my faith. More willing to share with others. More willing to trust in the Lord. Committed to a quiet time to be in His word. Praying for the church in Boquillas and the larger church around the world. Having a better understanding of the tactics of the enemy. Putting myself squarely in the stream of God's way of moving. Loving the Lord more deeply and loving the praise of other men less. Allowing myself to realize that I don't have to move mountains to win the love of God.
We had another sharing time this morning, just the group from PRC this time, followed by breakfast. Our kids indicated that if they had it to do over again, they would play more with the Mexican kids. Sam Voss also shared something touching - that he had really appreciated mentoring and encouragement from Peter during the week.
We said goodbye to Lupe this morning. Each of us took a porcelain trinket as she had requested. There is not much that I would want less than a porcelain trinket, but I did not want to offend Lupe. I was touched, though, that she wanted us to have something to remember her by. Leah was very excited about taking something. I hope hers doesn't get broken on the plane.
The bus was late again. Just before getting on, I scared a calf that was running down the street. Quite foolish of me, and I was not able to retrieve the calf. I faked like I was going to takcle the calf and I guess it figured that I really would.
The bus ride was uneventful. I will say that the countryside looked different on the way home than it did on the way to Boquillas.
Bought the kids donuts at the airport. Laura bought a bag and I bought a Twix bar that I forgot to eat.
Now, sitting on the plane...
