The words that came to my mind last night- sigue adelante. "Keep going."

Itineration is a grind, but it's a worthwhile grind. It's a pleasure to connect with churches and individuals who have a heart for missions and to share the wonderful things God is doing in Belize. One of my favorite parts of itineration is that I get to connect with kids and young people. Hearing from missionaries as a young person was so important for me and it's an honor to do the same for others.

However, there are days when the travel is long and the budget feels neverending. When I am looking at the numbers and how much is left to raise, I hear the words- sigue adelante. Keep going! The kids and young women come to mind, the ones I have met already and the ones I have not yet met. I remind myself that I am returning to Belize soon and until then, the Lord has our students in His care. I choose to be encouraged by the progress made already and all that the Lord has done in this time both for me and through me. I certainly can look at the churches I have connected with for meetings, lunches, coffees, and services so far and feel immensely grateful to have a support team who cares for the work, for the children of Belize, and for me.
