Better Than Expected

Hello from Mobile, AL,

Ya know, expectations always change. I expected, yet was not quite sure, what was all going to be involved when joining Latreia. I expect one thing, but get the next. Yet vice versa, I don't expect this, but then this happens. Latreia has been better than expected.

Last week in Mississippi was my first full-week with the team. Since Jesse and his brothers, Tyler and Jake, came along, I had the chance to gain life-long friendships. I sure didnt expect that. The ministry was challenging, yet rewarding. Which brings up another topic. It's really hard to stay at a site for just a week. You work so hard to gain relationships with the people, then the end of the week rolls around and you have to leave to friendships you've just gained.

Expectations are "way" stunning. They can make you mad, sad, happy, glad, cool and just about every adjective you can think of. Which is why you can expect the unexpected.

As 3/4ths (Kelly) once said, "God provides, don't doubt it!"
