Missions Conference

This evening we are halfway through our missions conference here at Moody Northwest and I am full of excitement I suppose you could say. I cant wait to get out there. My impulse is to just get out there and join JAARS doing anything, computer work or something, and just get on the missions field. I went to several sessions today, including a session on the daily life of a missionary pilot and a dessert time at someone's house with several JAARS guys. The daily life of a missionary pilot session started getting me excited, but what really got me for some reason was the time talking to the JAARS guys over dessert. Now, perhaps irrationaly, I feel very inclined towards JAARS and Southeast Asia or Papua New Guinea. Previously, I wasnt really sure, but figured it made sense to go back to Niger with SIM-Air, but also felt a bit of a pull towards JAARS. Now I feel a very strong pull towards JAARS and I dont know if its God or if its just the effect of some good long talks with the JAARS pilots and mechanic about God's work and their experiences on the field and a few rich brownies. Regardless, I am simultaneously dismayed at the length of time I have before me before I am able to get out there and actually do what Ive been working towards for so long, and also refreshed and motivated for the years of training ahead. I just need to keep in mind that life is now and it wont start when I get off the plane in Djakarta or whatever.
