Just over a Week to Go...

We are 10 days away from the Belize trip...I am super excited because I get to go next Thursday as I usually plan a few days before and after the mission trip to spend time with family and with friends.  I fly out next Thursday and will be staying with my wonderful cousin Lourdes Gallaty who has hosted me for the past five years.   I have plans to see old (not in age) class mates.  When I lived in Belize I would get butterflies everytime I traveled to the states...now I get butterflies when I travel back to Belize...how ironic.  Which is why I believe we should cherish the people and the things around us right now because someday you may long to be in the place you are...right now.

Speak from Your Heart


Let me tell you short story from last year's trip to Belize…on our first day we visited the village of Concepcion in the Corozal District. The schools we visit always have a special welcome ceremony which usually includes assembling the entire school for a formal welcome program and gifts for our mission team. It is customary for the leader of the group to give a welcome speech so I was asked to address the Concepcion primary school students and teachers. As part of my brief speech, I introduced the team. I was especially proud to introduce Davin, my daughter, who was on her first mission trip with me. As I completed my brief talk the school Principal and master of ceremonies took the microphone and handed it to my daughter and asked her to also briefly address the school. As you can imagine, Davin who is 12 year old, was quite intimidated and scared to be standing in front of the entire school in a place that was not at all familiar to her. She responded shyly that she did not know what to say. The master of ceremonies very politely said to her…”That is okay…just speak from your heart”. Davin then proceeded to share some brief comments in front of the entire school. I was so proud of my daughter that day. The reason I share this story is because when we speak from the heart it travels far and touches deeply. So always speak from your heart.
