There is a point where your there alone surrounded by people who havent known you very long and you just wish you had your family, but thats when you put all of your trust and faith in God and know that He is going to get you through it. And He always does! I was an intern missionary in Zac, Mexico for 1 year and I would have to say one of the hardest things is being away from your family and the people you know and love!

God did not make us all the same. He has different plans for everyone. We also have a unique gift so that we can be used in that certain area. We need pastors, but we also need doctors, teachers, farmer and many others. Everyone is going to be used differently. God did not make us all the same. He has different plans for everyone.

God called me to be a medical missionary almost a year and a half ago. I am trying to figure out the next step with colleges, but I really would like to talk with you briefly about missions. It would be so awesome if I could have this opportunity. What do you say? Hi my name is Emilee and I am a senior this year in high school.

I take it back--He DOES want me to be a missionary. Ever since I thought that's what God wanted me to do I asked him to show me that it was from him--to renforce what he said. He has. We had a missionary come to our chuch and speak; my family went over to a friends house where the mom talked about her daughters- two are in missions--so I got to ask her a few questions... But virtually I know nothing about missions. "Should I go to collage?" is one of my main conserns-- also I don't know if God wants me to get married or do missions or do missions AFTER I get married. I know nothing about where I want to go and I don't know any other language besides English. (Although I am learning Spanish in school.) Basically I don't know what I should do! I don't know what kind of missions God wants me to do... Is there any way I can find out?

I didn't even think about the question from the theological aspect. I saw the question as pragmatic and didn't dig any deeper. There is nothing quite like returning to the linguistic level of a two-year old to show your identification and love for people! :-D Hi Mark,
