Researching.

Another week has come and gone- along with it much coffee, office chatter about bacon, and some work on our international missions operations. One of the highlights of my week was researching the country of Uruguay, where we hope to send our very first team of staff for the 2011-2012 school year.

We can fly a team down to Montevideo, Uruguay in about 12 hours. Obtaining 9 month visa's may be a bit more difficult, but an obstacle that we can probably get around.

I can't imagine trying to send missionaries overseas without the Internet, cell phones and airplanes. The dedication of missionaries throughout the course of history truly amazes me. I can't even imagine having to take a ship for 6 months just to get to a location. Parents saying good-bye to their sons and daughters and grand kids, knowing they might never see them again. But, that's not to say it's not hard today, especially when you're talking third-world countries and unreached people groups. Just some random thoughts for the night :)
