Comments from Terry Hoffman about the mission trip . . .

Terry Hoffman makes the following comments:

It is natural before any trip to be a little apprehensive, especially if the destination is somewhere we have never been. The apprehension increases when you know you are staying with people you do not know, and almost reaches the “uh oh” point when the goal of the project is to bring non English speaking people closer to Christ.

We are happy to report that the apprehension was short lived. We were welcomed with the utmost excitement, love and hospitality. The readers we are blessed with helping to learn, have been an inspiration to all of us. We learn as much from them as they do from us.

We have already become accustomed to Walter singing hymns in the morning shower. Mike is well on his way to breaking the record for different ways to cook SPAM. Taylor is the life saver and comes to the rescue when we get ourselves in Spanish trouble. We thank God daily for our successes and that Jack only packed one pair of camoflage shorts to wear with his dress shirt and white Panama cowboy hat. Delores has been more than patient with us rummaging her kitchen and hanging our semi clean laundry on her line.

We look forward to next week’s arrival of the rest of the Davis Park team and another week of bringing another group of readers closer to God.
