Usually when Christians return from the foreign mission field, they say it's great to be back. I agree with this - and I love being able to catch up with so many of you beautiful people (particularly you Fergusson) - but to be perfectly honest I'd prefer to still be Mexico. It's annoying to have this extra trip back to the UK just because of my US visa situation; i was getting really excited about the work assisting Christians in Tabasco after the floods and to top it off, it's cold and rainy. Brrrr.
But I'm not letting it worry me because God has a plan. Perhaps I'm here to aid the work out in Mexico, at a time when Saul and Pilar can't travel. I have been given many opportunities to speak to people about the situation in Tabasco and many have responded generously in prayer and money. I'm also making new contacts for Armonia and spreading the word about the radical approach of Integral Mission which permeates all that they do. And it looks like I might have some job interviews scheduled in the middle of all this so it's exciting to see whether God would have me come back to the UK next academic year to start work in London.
So it's not all bad. In fact, i'm alive, healthy, saved and have much to thank God for. Not least all of you supporting me. :)
