In my head...

Here´s us before we leave:

As for the trip down here, we flew out of Minneapolis at about 11:30 yesterday and had a 2 hour flight to Toronto. During that time, I had an awesome experience that was just a testiment to what I know God´s going to do during our time here. I talked with a guy named Julian on the plane, who was going home to Toronto. He was someone that absolutely epitimizes ¨moral relativism.¨ He related to me with how I work at Hope Haven, and his mom works at a similar place. But as I was talking about how my faith in Jesus influences my work, he shared that he wasn´t a Christian and he thought it was all okay because we all had the same ¨moral value system.¨ Long story short, he doesn´t believe in God, but if I want to, then it´s fine for me. He is raising his children to make their own choices in everything from diet to religion - and his ¨fulfillment in life¨ is making others happy. So if you could say a prayer for him...I think a seed was planted, but it didn´t look like he was very open to my encouragement to at least check out the Bible. (Especially since his wife was a Catholic - examining the Bible would be a good way to relate to her).

So that was a really great experience and a reminder that this trip is in God´s hands. We got to Toronto at 1:30 or so and then spent a 6 hour layover playing cards and talking. Here are some pictures to show you what we were doing.

After that, we got on a flight to Caracus, Venezuela and began the 6-hour trek south. We arrived at the airport at 1AM and (praise God!) we got through Customs in about an hour. The only little snag we had was that the people weren´t going to give us our guitars and keyboard. Thankfully, we got that figured out.

Here are some pictures from the trip down to Caracus. And then also, some pictures of Marie and I with our host family, Victor, Wendy, y Issac. Thanks for all the prayers and I will let you all know how everything progresses from here! Love you all!!
