On a personal note, having gone on this trip last year, I absolutely cannot wait to see the kids at Exodo! I have the same excited feeling as visiting good friends I haven't seen in a while. I am curious to see how much the kids have grown, if the orphanage grounds has changed much, and how the chickens are doing! I can't wait to take pictures and have the little boys grab my camera to see pictures of themselves! I look forward to singing happy birthday to them and watching them interact with others on the trip like they are anything BUT strangers! I look forward to having them giggle as I struggle to speak just a few words in Spanish. I can't wait to get teary eyed as the girls sing worship songs. But most of all, I cannot wait to see how God uses us, uses me to ....
