		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in my previous post about our return, our family is hoping to spend the 2012-2013 school year in Nicaragua.

		<description><![CDATA[Before any of our family mission trips, we schedule plenty of time to pray and plan with our team. Last night, we had our first official prayer meeting for our next trip. There are some key differences in our next trip, though, so I thought I&#8217;d take a few moments to explain. After we returned [...]]]></description>

I have heard from many who were checking my blog, waiting for more news of our trip, and were left to stare at ants for almost a week. So sorry!

When I was considering how to distribute those shoes, I thought of a time when Jesus washed the disciples&#8217; feet. As soon as Peter realized what was about to happen, he was like, &#8220;no [...]]]></description>
