This is a boarding airline ticket from a missionary trip taken with my church to the country of Paraguay in 2004. I will never forget that route from Sao Paoulo, Brazil to Asuncion, Paraguay as it is shown. As I was looking for my numbered seat and realizing at the same time that I was being assigned to sit in the middle of the row, I started looking towards the back of the plane to see if I could find any more available seats. After asking for permission, I went ahead and found my place. There was a lady sitting right behind of my seat. As the plane took off and being at about 49,0000 feet above sea level almost approaching our destination, I had the curiosity to ask the lady if she had ever been to the Iguazu waterfalls. As she replied back to me, we started a conversation in which I told her about my purpose of going to Paraguay as a first time missionary. I shared with her part of my testimony and what Jesus has meant in my life. She told me how she was once invited by a couple of friends to an event with Franklin Graham.As we kept talking and to my amazement, I could see how attentive she was to what I was saying, it was like the Lord was speaking directly to her heart. I also asked her if she wanted to receive Jesus as her personal Lord and saviour and calmly said yes. She said the prayer, I prayed for her and what was most interesting about it, was that there were no interruptions at all at any moment. I could see the happiness on her face. I was just overflowing with joy from inside. I just could not believe that the Lord had allowed me this unexpected opportunity to serve Him not having even arrived yet at the city of my destination. I gave her a couple of literatures for her to read and said our goodbyes. Once at the airport I shared the news with my pastor and reflected back on that wonderful scenario. I said "Lord this must have been your divine plan for her life because this would not have happened if I would have had a seat next to a window or if the flight would have been full. I do not remember her name and do not know what is it about her life now, but once thing I know, is that if she is serving the Lord which I hope she is, someday we will see each other in heaven. Thank You Lord for allowing me humbly to be used by you.

Eleven more days for the upcoming missionary trip to the beautiful country of Peru. The excitement is growing, I guess even more as the days gets much closer. I keep seeing the Lord's hand working in providing for the materials I want to take and also through some encouragement words from people that believe in my vision and desire. Again, it is my desire that the Lord will use this humble servant so He can be glorified and have His wondeful name be known throughtout the entire Peru and the world. Luke 24:46-49
