Going on a Mission's Trip

We are real-life missionaries going on a mission's trip. In July, a team will be coming from Virginia to an area in Costa Rica about 3 hours from here. They will be here for 9 days and have offered to cover our expenses for this trip. I belive there are 2 or 3 other language students (IMB) going as well. Neither John nor I feel like we can miss school or leave the kids for 9 days, so we are splitting the trip in half (hopefully). If not, then just I will be going for 5 days. Anyway, we will be working with the team doing VBS activities and ministry with children and we will be the translators from English to Spanish. Can you believe it? I'M NOT KIDDING! US translating - who would've thought. Thank God it will be simple messages for children. :) The trip will be in July - right around our one year anniversary here. We are both super excited about this opportunity; to get to know the team coming here; to translate; to share God's word; to plant seeds; and of course, lots of Spanish practice.
