You know you are in another country when... you count iguanas during car rides, the goats are on leashes but the dogs run free, you see a baby crawling on a dirt floor with chickens walking around him inside a small home!
Hola! Have you ever made a special dessert that came out just perfect? As the cook you may even taste tested it. However, the best joy comes when you get to serve the dessert to your family and friends. Hoping that they like it as much as you do. Waiting for their expression as they exclaim "This is sooooo good" That is the feeling that I have as a missions team leader. Of our 6-person team only 2 of us had done missions trips in the past. As we shared our memories from the week, I know each team member is forever changed, touched and challenged by their experiences this past week. Today was our last full day of ministry and many laughs were shared, hugs were given and photos were taken. I so enjoyed watching each team member inhale this "dessert" set before them, and I could tell each of them thought is was "one of the best desserts they had even eaten." Hopefully, we will all be able to taste it again someday, but we will have the memory of the flavor to enjoy for a lifetime.... Chow!
