Mission Trip / Family Test

I don't have a lot of time to write now, but I am having a difficult time with a major change that came about last night! My husband and I are traveling to Mexico for another mission trip tomorrow. The youngest SD has gone with us the last 2 times and was already planning to go this time. Last night, for some weird reason, (I have my own ideas why), the oldest SD decided out of the blue she wants to go with us. This is a HUGE answer to prayer, because we have asked her to go many times before and the last time we asked she screamed at us and said she "has no desire to go, it is not my thing, don't ask me again!!!"

So I should be happy right? I have mixed feelings about it all, because she hasn't spoken to me in about 5 months. Now she will be traveling to another country with us to do mission work? I hope this will be good for all of us to establish a new friendship and bond. But my fear is it will be the opposite. A mission trip is not the time or the place to have a family feud. The drama needs to stay here. We plan on having a little chat with both girls this evening on what is expected of them.

So, that's all I have time to say for now. I am asking all my blogging friends to PLEASE think of me this week and PRAY that our family will make it through this test.

Good idea to talk with them about expectations before you go. Good luck to all of you!
