Let Go and Let God

What a week it has been! As we began pursuing the opportunity to start a new trip, we kept looking for open doors. As we would investigate different locations, things just didn’t fall into place until this trip to Nicaraguawas brought up. We have seen God’s hands over each and every detail, from a place to stay, to gracious hosts, to a translator who has such a passion for his community, and getting to work hand in hand with a local veterinarian. God orchestrated the events of this week, and it was so fun to sit back and watch it all happen!

Our prayer for every trip is that we do not get in the way of what the Lord is doing. So often we work hard for something to fit our agenda, but when we sit back and let God work, we often see the trip come together in ways we could have never imagined. This trip was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when we let go and let God. We had no expectations of how the week would go, and it was so fun to see God use Matt, Meg, Angel, and Tori (as well as all the others in the community) to reach their community in deeper ways. We are just thankful we got to be a small part of it!

As we look forward to the next time we get to go down, we will be continuing to pray for the people that are serving all year round. God has been and will continue to use them in mighty ways! From here, it is our job to be the best encouragement that we can be until we meet again!

We also can’t say thank you enough, to every person who prayed for us and financially donated to help make this trip a possibility! This would not have been possible without your support, and we are so grateful for each of you!
