This blog was posted after we returned to the USA. I tried to record the events of each day as they occured, but there was no internet access where we stayed, so I decided to just post it when we got home. I hope it sheds some light on what an Impact trip from Lakeside could look like. It was unique in many ways, but Providence is unique in many ways. We are already planning a trip back in November 2008 and June 2009.Please start this blog at the beginning, meaning on June 10th. You will have to read from the very bottom of the blog to the very top. If you start at the top of the blog, you will miss everything that led us to this point!
I cannot stress enough how each of us are just normal, everyday Lakesiders. People get the impression that those of us that choose to go on missions are somehow different than they are. Well we are not. We have jobs, we have families and we have responsibilities that seem overwhelming at times. We are imperfect people who have just made the choice to follow God on a great adventure! We all want to have adventures in life and there are many to be found on impact trips for sure!
There is nothing that feels as good as serving the Lord with your brothers and sisters in a land far, far away!
God Bless You,
Russ "Rico" Reyes
