24 hours, 23 minutes
It takes the fun out of travel when you have a slipped disc and rotated vertebrae in your lower back.
When I'm 38,000 miles in the air, my mind thinks at the 38,000 mile level. I was so challenged to dream big on this trip. So good to read a few books during the flight (Heschel's "Man's Quest for God" which is a study on prayer and symbolism. HIGHLY recommend this book for challenging your prayer life. Also read "Just Courage" by Gary Haugen who is the Director of the International Justice Mission which was a great read on social justice issues from a biblical perspective).
Cried several times during the flight. I have the capacity to get emotional, but it doesn't happen often. I was really broken on this trip. I'm anticipating the challenge of communicating what we saw firsthand to people back home. It's good to have taken so much video and photography. Excited to focus on that for the remainder of the week for the weekend services.
Before the trip, prayed I would expect the unexpected. That was an understatement.
