We're Back (19)

I'm back! Last Friday we arrived back from Tuxtla, Mexico. The mission trip was spectacular, and a highlight for me was the choir performance at the end of the evangelistic campaign. I had the privilege of directing the choir and it was really fun. But now I want to learn how to really direct. The coolest part of the program came when the marimbas accompanied us for Vivaldi's Gloria. The sound was amazing and I don't think many choirs have ever sung Gloria with the marimbas.

I was a main speaker for one of the five evangelistic series, and it was my first time preaching. I don't relish public speaking, but at least the butterflies I used to get have flown away. The nervousness now has just transformed itself into a silent dread. But God got me through the series. There were no immediate results from the series, but I know I was just doing what God had asked me to do. As Jesus said in John 4:37, "For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.'"
