First day!

The first day is complete! Scott and I got in about 10:30 last night after almost 18 hours worth of driving. The trip seemed to fly by since the majority of the car ride was spent discussing life, theology, and this summer. After a good night's sleep I woke up to the wonderful Mescher family that includes Corey and the three kids Corban, Noah, and Ellie. Scott and Corey have shown so much kindness towards me by allowing me to stay in their house for the upcoming week...

Today was very relaxed and consisted of a very thorough tour of the majestic town of Salado. (It was about a 30 minute tour). This town is definitely different then the "town" of Fishers that consists of 80,000 people back at home. Although it may not be the most prominent landmark on the map of Texas, I am excited to see where God is working and how I can join Him this summer. After touring the church facility of First Baptist I am getting anxious to meet all the people that make up this particular part of the Body. I look forward to the relationships that will spring up tomorrow and I hope I can awaken affections for God in the people I walk alongside. Pray that I will be intentional this summer and that God will open the hearts of those in Salado...

Also...Scott told me today that Salado means "salty" in Spanish. That made me think of this verse "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good fr anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet" Matthew 5:13

May we remain salty!
