I loved reading about the changes this trip made in your son's life. We experienced similar things when we took our whole family to Kenya, Africa for one year. Our five kids were ages 9 - 15. This had a huge impact on their lives. Our kids are now ages 19 - 25 and each as a desire to serve the Lord and is open to going wherever He calls. Our oldest has taken mission trips back to Africa and other countries. Our next oldest soon leaves for Tanzania for two years as a missionary nurse. The next son is going into the Marines. The youngest two are still in college. So...if at all possible take your kids and go serve together! It can have an amazing impact on their hearts and lives.

I've always wanted to go on a mission's trip and have never had the funds. Hopefully when the opportunity arises, we'll be able to go on one as a family...I should start saving now, huh. Or maybe write a best-seller. :O) Beautiful, heart-tugging story…thank you for sharing it.

Although not Latino, as a mother, I do know the issue of an American kid with much not connecting to it as blessing instead of entitlement. I cheer your son on in his new vision. Vashti,

My eldest (age 8) has already felt God's call to missionary work. She already wants to stody signlanguage and Spanish because she feels that the Lord wants her to know those. Paise the Lord for His call on our children's lives. I cannot wait until my children are old enough for this. My eldest (age 8) has already felt God’s call to missionary work.
