Looking back...

Well, as many of you probably know, I'm back at home after my 10ish weeks in TX. Looking back, I wouldn't give up the experience for anything. I might have had my moments of frustration or disappointment, but I know 100% that God took me to El Paso for a reason.

What did I learn?

To rely on God when I'm in a new place and desperately lonely for my family and friends at home.

To see God work in a situation where I disagree wholeheartedly with the status quo.

To understand the importance of having a solid support network surrounding you - people of every age.

To work across language barriers with as much grace as possible - every child deserves to know the love of Christ.

To remember how pumped I get to teach kids about God - it's such a rush. I wish I could have that feeling all the time

To go wherever God leads me without too many expectations because sometimes expectations get their butts kicked.
