I'll be gone for a while - See you in August!

Tomorrow morning, I will be flying out with a group of people to go on a missions trip. We will be gone a little over a month. I would really appreciate your prayers while we are there. Here are some things you could pray for:

1. Safety flying and while over there
2. Flexibility (without going into detail, this is a major request.)
3. Opportunities for ministry and witnessing. We are going there to do a specific job, but of course we are praying that the Holy Spirit brings us opportunities to really share His Word.
4. That we would do a good job with the task we are there to do
5. Health. We will be eating very different foods and will be exposed to very different health risks than we are in the US. (there were many vaccines to get!)
6. Encouragement. It is always hard to be away from home for so long, especially in a place that is nothing at all like where we live.
7. Unity as a group
8. Discernment

For different reasons, I think it would not be best to go into a lot of detail describing our trip on this blog, but I am both nervous and very excited! Even though I am very excited, I am feeling sad to leave home. I have enjoyed spending my days in the house. When we get back, it will almost be time to go to work again. Oh, well. Such is life. At least I am blessed with a wonderful job!

We might have web access where we are, but I probably will not be posting here until I get back. Please come and visit here again in the beginning of August!

Farewell until August, my blog friends!

Love,
LeanNot

Lean not, just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you and the requests you listed. I can't WAIT to hear what the Lord was up to where you are going!!!

Since you can't say where you are going, it is probably a very dark place spiritually. I know that when we were in China getting Elizabeth, we could literally FEEL the spiritual oppression. May the Lord bring His Light into the dark place you are traveling. :)

His,
Mrs. U
