So... when I originally made this blog, it was to record observations, experiences, lessons etc that God would be teaching me during this "vision semester" of exploring various ministries. The first trip was to Thailand (hence the name of the blog terrytothailand...) But, the second opportunity that God opened up was a trip to Lima, Peru! So, here I am writing my first blog post about the trip to Peru.
I didn't really want to create a whole new blog so I just kept the same name... But, if you are reading this, realize that I am NOT in Thailand anymore. I am sitting at my kitchen table in the US of A. Tomorrow, I set sail... (or pile on a plane) for Lima, Peru.
I'll be staying on compound with some World Reach missionaries, helping at a school, practicing spanish, and observing the culture and ministry! I pray that God continues working on my heart as He already has in huge ways this semester. God was so faithful to reveal so many things while I was in Thailand and while I've been home processing the trip. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go to another place and compare and contrast.
Ultimately, this blog is for prayer! Maybe it's selfish. But, I'll take all the prayer that I can get. God was so faithful to answer prayers while I was in Thailand, both yours and mine. So, to those of you who were praying for the trip, thank you. I continue to ask for prayers as I'm in Lima! I cannot wait to see how God will expand on what He has been teaching me this year so far. The lessons are numerous, but are so exciting. My mind is running like crazy as I continue processing what God has been teaching me, is teaching me and will teach me. God is so good. To Him be the glory!
