I first learned that God can do amazing work in us when we obey Him. (the Great commission for ex.) I also learned some Spanish words and a great deal of the Mexican culture. I learned the importance of connecting with people. Relating to one another with open hearts, with humility and vulnerability leads to healing and personal growth and growth of those we connect with. In connecting with some of the people in Mexico, I learned some of the people's hopes and of those who have no hope.
What shocked me was that God was able to use me to touch others lives both within the team and with the Mexican people. My misconceptions were that I wouldn't have any fun and wouldn't enjoy the food. However, I loved most all of the food and had the most amazing experience of my life. Seeing God work in my life and the lives of our teammates and the work He does thru Missy and Greg was a most fulfilling experience. I fell in love with the people in Mexico |
