Well, the Sulphur Grove Youth and Young Adult Mission Team returned late at night on New Year's Day from our week in the Dominican Republic. I would love to say that our trip looked like this the whole time:
But alas, it actually looked a whole lot more like this:
And a whole lot of this:
Our week was humbling and heart breaking. It was eye opening and amazing. It was funny and full of laughter, but hard and full of challenging conversation. We read the book Make Poverty Personal... and boy did we. Now we are stumbling and foundering, looking for how we can actually live what we learned. But we're doing it together and working to make our trip count.
I'll tell you all about it sometime... sometime that is not now, when my brain is overwhelmed with so much to do and catch up on. I've been in my office just 2 of the last 7 weeks... so there are a few things I am a bit behind on... what with working at a church and Christmas and all. =)
More to come.... more to come...
