Shifting gears

Well, if it's one thing I've learned and experienced in this mission trip, it's that things are always subject to change. I can't tell you how many times we've had to plan and replan, reassess and shift gears. Things get canceled and new things come up unexpectedly; such is the life of a missionary, I'm learning.

So we were in Teguc for a few days: the guys were setting up computers for Pastor Pablo's Internet Cafe, and the girls went back to the orphanage. But, we wound up finishing way early, so we took a bus yesterday to Seguatepeque where Mark and Michelle live at the seminary. We're gonna be doing some work here for the next couple of days. Today we're clearing out a room that has a lot of stuff stored in it, because the seminary is gonna make an Internet Cafe out if it. (I guess that's the new trend here) I just talked to Allie on the phone and she said they're having a great time at the orphanage. They had the option to come here to Seguat tomorrow, but she wants to stay till Friday.

I've really been juggling whether or not to fly home this weekend, because my dad is having surgery on July 1st. I found a ticket that's affordable, but I still don't know what God wants me to do; so, I decided not to make a decision without knowing what I'm supposed to do. Everyone I ask keeps telling me the same thing: that they can't tell me what to do, and either way will be the right choice. They may be right, but it's still not the answer I'm looking for. A yes or no would be very convenient. So yeah, we'll see what happens there. We're taking a break from moving stuff right now, so I better go relax a little before the siesta is over.
