God Showing Off!

Every once in a while we get the opportunity to see God pull out all the stops and show his majestic power and beauty.  LIFT was able to experience jaw-dropping display of His creation at full radiance as we had the a serene evening with the Super Moon (a full moon with the closest it has been to the earth in many years) back lighting what seemed to be the entire country of Guatemala with all the cities and villages twinkling far far below in the valleys - all the way to the Pacific Ocean.  Then to top that, Volcan de Feugo was erupting 2-3 times per hour, with loud explosive blasts and lava spewing far in the air and down the mountain.

We value having "Wow Moments" in all of our adventures and experiences to give us times to see a glimpse of God's greatness.  This overnight hike, although difficult with climbing 5,000' in 5 miles with full packs was one of LIFT's greatest moments in the "Wow Factor" being off the scale.

We are all back in Magdalena.  We are tired, need a shower and a nap, but very satisfied and content with feeling accomplished with all we have seen God do on this mission trip and in the last few days. Many will fall asleep quickly with big smiles and excitement to return home yet sadness to leave.

We return to CAMP-of-the-WOODS early Thursday morning.  Please continue to pray for us as we have a very long day of traveling starting tomorrow @ 7:30.  Pray for alertness and safety on the road Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
