Great Expectations!

I am sitting here less than 48 hours from take off wondering how next week will go. Directing the final week of camp here in the States has not afforded much time to reflect on the Brazil trip. Nonetheless I am full of thoughts: nervous about the language difference, stretched knowing what kind of energy and selflessness it will take, full of great expectations of how God and our team will work to influence the Brazilian staff and campers, and excited about all that we will learn from these wonderful people and their culture. I believe we will be amazed at how love and service can be translated to any language and culture. Tomorrow I can rise confidently with great expectations because our God has gone before us and he is with us...for His glory.  I hope I can sleep the next two nights!!! Jeff
