shots!!!

In a little over a month I will be traveling to the nation of Malawi on a mission trip with other pastors. I am very excited about this trip. If any of you have not read about what we will be doing click on http://watkinsscott.blogspot.com/2008/10/malawi.html and you can get the information.

The one thing I am NOT excited about is the shots. I have an appointment scheduled at the Tulsa City/County Health Department next Thursday the 22nd at 10 am. They are going to give me about 5 shots ranging from Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, MMR, Tetanus, and Yellow Fever. I have a strong feeling I am going to be sore. But I guess it is all to keep my young strapping body from getting sick. The price you pay for looking this good (I am not seriously this conceited).

The dates for the trip at February 19–28 (Thursday–Saturday). My funds have come in very well and I am so grateful. I will ask you to pray for me as I prepare spiritually and physically. I know this will be a physically demanding trip as I will be baptizing around 500 people in 7 days. But also I want to have the right frame of mind spiritually. I want to be used by God in whatever way He desires.

Pray for my family as I will be gone. Shelly is already nervous about having the psychos by herself so please remember her. Lastly I ask you to pray for the people of Malawi. This is a nation where the Muslims are trying to infiltrate and we need to reach them for Christ. God is more powerful than our words and deeply desires for the people in Malawi to know Him.

While in Malawi I will try to update you about what we are doing on this blog. I am not sure what internet options I will have but I will do my best to keep you all informed. Thanks for taking time to read this and I hope you have a blessed day.
