From the perception of someone who hasn't had the experience, mental conceptions of mission trips aren't too far off from the boy's imagination in the picture below.  Mission trips can be pretty intimidating even aside from the physical challenges, and carry the same retort as do evangelistic efforts at home... "Are you kidding?"  But for me, especially now after having been on a few, I welcome the awesome experiences God walks me thru in His refining effort to make me a servant after Christ's own heart.  I'm sure I'll add additional notes or pictures later, but I've tried to post a bit from the experiences in both Guatemala and Peru.
