This is just a short story from the beginning of our trip in early March.
When we were standing in the line for customs to enter Honduras, we were right
behind an obvious group on a missions trip. Obvious because they all had the
same shirts on! I had noticed their shirts when we were boarding but we had not
spoken. I cannot recall the name of their church. Gary thinks he has
a card that they gave us but we cannot find it now. That is really not the best
part of the story anyway!
As we were waiting in this very slow line, we began a
conversation with two women who were part of this team. They told us where they
were from and what they were going to be doing. We in turn explained what we
were going to do in Honduras. They turned out to be a mom and daughter. The daughter was very enthusiastic about their mission and about ours. It was such
a God moment there in that customs line! Then the daughter asked if we could
pray there in the line. So we did! Well, she did! It was such a blessing to all
of us. We felt so close to these women that we had never met before- drawn
together as brothers and sisters in Christ on a mission for Him. It made a
boring waiting line into a blessing. What a great beginning to a wonderful
trip! We know that the Lord is in control of everything, even waiting in those
boring customs lines!
