We are 2 weeks away from our Honduras trip for 2011.
I am excited to be going to Honduras again. This is my
2nd trip. I went in September 2009. It was a totally new
experience for me. I had never been to Central
America. This year will be a new experience as well. My
husband Mark and daughter Deborah are going for the
first time. As we started this journey this year we all
thought that we were going to participate in children's
ministry and construction. It turns out that this time
I am going as the nurse. Dr. Tom Jarrett and I will be
seeing patients every day. Even though this is my 9th
overseas trip, this will be my 1st official medical trip.
So as always I believe that God allows us to learn
something new everytime we serve Him overseas. We
just need to be willing and available.


I love missions and I especially love traveling to other
countries. I am a North American Mission Board missionary
working here with refugees and immigrants. I love what I do.
It is amazing that God has brought so many different people
to Atlanta, GA. But, going overseas adds a whole new
perspective to what I do. It  allows me to gain a broader
world perspective and vision. It helps me to realize where
people are coming from and what it was like in their home.
Really it is a reality check. I wish all believers could
have the opportunity to serve on a short term missions team.
It will forever change you. I am grateful for this opportunity
and pray that God will be with us and fill us as we go. May
He bring peace, joy, happiness, and salvation to His people
in Honduras.
