Another amazing opportunity has been placed in our lives. Our church is sending a team to Uganda for a short-term mission trip this coming January. This opportunity comes at an exceptionally busy yet ‘available’ time for us. As you may know, we are planning to move to Panama next January as well. However, it also means our life will be in ‘transit’ during that time – after my classes are over but before the field study begins, after Tom wraps things up at work but before settling into something new, after we sublet our apartment but before we move down south.
We are weighing this heavily in our hearts and with a lot of prayer. We know from our experiences in Cambodia that short-term missions are exceptionally challenging; physically, emotionally, and, at times, spiritually. We also know from our experience in Cambodia that there are a lot of needs out there. And you have to ask yourself, “Who is supposed to do this work?” Those who are capable? Those who are called?
If those who are willing and able don’t go, then who will?

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity. Of course I'd say go, but there are always all those things to factor in!
Good luck in making your decision, it must be a tough one!
