This trip was an amazing experience. A couple of things that especially touched me were:

• I had never traveled internationally overseas even for vacation, so I was a bit nervous going so far and feeling responsible for 6 high school girls (& 3 adult men... ; ). It was amazing to see God line every detail up perfectly! We all made it there, and we all made it home. I learned again that I can trust Him for even the small details.
• I also felt like I got a little taste of what heaven may be like. At the marriage class that Lance taught, we had a time of worship where there was a member of the Chilean church leading in Spanish, and we were participating in English. We were singing different words, but we were all singing the same song, the same message, and worshiping the same amazing God! It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I look forward to worshiping our God with them for eternity!                                                                                 ~Leslie Stadum
