Arriving

I'm here!

Philly Cheesesteak- I thought it was rather tasty!

     Sooo...!  God has calmed me and given me more peace about this trip than I could have expected!  From arriving and meeting 8 other interns all in the same boat as me, right down to the phone call I just had with Dean (the retired Trinidadian missionary living in Atlanta), I've experienced great calm.  This time with these other kids has really blessed me.  They are all wonderful people who love the Lord and want to see the advancement of His kingdom.  Of the 8, 3 are going to NYC, 1 is bound for Itlay, 1 to London, and 3 to Papua, Indonesia.  What's really been special is hearing all of their excitements, fears, anxieties, and dreams.  I've also been encouraged by other people who work at World Team who've told me all the wonders Trinidad has waiting for me.  

   Another cool thing I want to share is that I will be going to a leadership conference toward the end of my stay in Trinidad. It's in Grenada, an island northwest of Trinidad and Tobago.  I'm excited at the opportunity to travel even outside of Trinidad!  Dean and Mitch both think that this will be a wonderful experience for me.

      I still have uncertainties, but they are no longer fears necessarily.  Through my inconsistent (I have to admit) prayer and my encouragement by friends I've made here, I have gained an excitement for the things I will see in Trin.  God is good.  Sometimes that truth slips my mind.  But I always get to come back to the righteousness and sovereignty of God.

     Hope you guys are getting to experience those qualities of God wherever you may be in the world!
