The hotel room that we spent the night at last night was probably one of the best any of us had ever slept in. The green grass was soft as we lay under the stars that shone brightly over us while we breathed the spring aroma from the blooming trees. The possum that jumped out of the way as we parked in the little clearing was the source of many jokes as we bedded down for the night. Right now we’re sitting at a gas station feeling rested and rejuvenated on the outskirts of Okalahoma City. Spirits continue to soar within the group as we look forward to arriving in Seminole later today. Yesterday evening after a few of us went swimming in a random river Lyndon shared an inspirational challenge and encouragement. He encouraged us in the way he has seen this group gel together and stand up as men through some of the adventures we’ve had already. His word was a blessing to each of us and we feel so privileged to have Lyndon along as he has become a solid pillar of this trip.

Please pray for us as we arrive in Seminole. Pray that the first impressions we give this community will be positive and God glorifying. We don’t have time to build rapport or history therefore first impressions are very important. It’s also a different culture down here, pray that we’ll fit in and understand the aspects needed in order to present the gospel in a way that is culturally relevant. We’re depending on the Holy Spirit to speak and change hearts, but we know first hand the value of contextualization. Thanks for your constant support.

	11. Crossing the Belizian Border went with out a hitch, except for one thing... May 7 2008, 01:46 PMCorozal, Belize It's really exciting that we made it into Belize with no hitches at all. All except one. We can't find Armando. We're in the country but we don't know where we are going or what to do. The prearranged meeting spots proved unsuccessful, emails unresponded and phone calls not...
