Mid-Week Thoughts

We’ve experienced so much already, and come to love these people and this community.  We’ve built our relationships with the Natives, with FLY, and with God.  Work projects have been an eye-opening experience as we were able to go out into the community and see it firsthand.  It makes us appreciative for all the things that we have in our lives.  The people here have so much less, yet they are filled with love and gratitude.  These projects also give us the opportunity to work together as groups and build relationships that will last beyond this week.  Kid’s Club has been life-changing too.  Most of these kids go through more than we could ever imagine, and yet their smiles don’t show it.  The love that they’ve shown to us has been so inspiring.  We’ve also learned so much about this culture, which is not something that we knew too much about before coming here.  The hardships that this community faces daily has completely opened our eyes.  The experiences and the knowledge that we are going to be taking back with us is going to be something we carry with us forever.  Thanks for all of the support you have given us because this opportunity has been life-changing.
