Day 4: Change of Plans

Today we learned another lesson in being flexible. Turns out the hotel overbooked for Thursday night, so guess who going to be moved to a new hotel. That's right. Us. Thursday night we're going to be heading over to a new hotel and saying goodbye to the missionaries a little bit earlier than we expected. Friday will be a shopping day, and Saturday is our trip back. I know that Mike, who is working with the youth, is already sad about having to say goodbye early. Frankly, we are too. But we don't have a choice in the matter, so we are going to put on a smile and finish out the course here.

Hannah and I were both feeling under the weather today. Maybe the busyness and hard work is catching up with us. Don't know. But she's toughed it out and gave a rocking awesome gospel presentation to the kids today, effectively summarizing the entire Bible in six blocks.

We also learned that a lot of the missionaries are facing stress and challenges with the many changes going on in the IMB. There's a renewed focus on reaching the under-evangelized, which means some people may have to leave areas and relationships they've worked in for years to go to a new place, perhaps even outside of Latin America. Please pray for the missionaries and consider giving more (or for the first time) to the IMB through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
