17th
Honduras - Bethany Tsui (6/16/11)
Dear Friend,
In less than 12 hours, I will be in the air and on my way to La Ceiba, Honduras! I will be there until July 13th.
I wanted to thank you so much for being such a wonderful encouragement to me throughout this whole process. If it weren’t for your support, prayers, financial generosity, and words of encouragement, I think I would be an anxious mess right now. That’s not to say that I’m completely care free. As I was packing today the reality of leaving began to hit me, and I admit that a bit of nervousness began to form in my gut. However, at the moment, I feel much more at peace!
But if you could please keep me in your prayers as I make my way to Honduras, I would greatly appreciate it. These are my current prayer requests.
1. Please pray for safe and stress-free/smooth travels! This is my first time to travel by myself, so this is actually a source of some nervousness for me.
2. Please pray that when I feel lonely/homesick, that I would persevere and remember that I have Jesus by my side and the Holy Spirit within me… pray that I would truly realize this whenever I am struck with these feelings.
3. Please pray that I would be quick to accommodate to a new culture, new language, and meeting many new people. I’m hoping to befriend some people who are coming in to serve with Signs of Love (like me) pretty quickly. I’m typically not very good in these situations and am very shy at the beginning. Please pray that I would break out of my shell quickly.
4. Please pray that I would have ears to hear God’s voice always. And that on this trip, I would realize that He is enough for me and that I’d fall more in love with Him.
The next e-mail you get from me will be coming from Honduras! Yay!
Excited to share with all of you what the Lord will show/teach me on this trip. =)
Love,
Betho
