Pastor Ric and several others thought this trip would be an amazing experience. I has been. I only have two days of travel, exploration, and speakers left.. This trip has only scratched the surface of what I would like to know and understand about the political situation and just my history and everything else.
What I will take from this trip however is so far from what I came here for. So far from what I feel Pastor Ric wants me to take home.
These People are amazing. The people I am traveling with are sooo wonderful. They have just taken me under their wings and I am running with it like I always do. For some reason "Store up your treasures in Heaven" comes to mind. I have amazing connections. I already feel truly blessed with the people I have supporting me. That number has doubled this past week and a half. I can't describe these people and the amount of encouragement they have shared with me in this short time.
I have learned more about my United Methodist background than I thought I would. My roommates will be disheartened to hear that I am even more proud than when I left and they couldn't quite tolerate it. Most importantly I have learned that people are human. These People are human. A lot of things that I was unsure about have been made clear by them. Its Epiphany after Epiphanyor bonk on the head after bonk on the head. Linda... you may be disappointed in me... I have been enjoying the nights with these clergy to their full potential... (talk about putting my foot in my mouth) **Hopefully you are getting what I'm talking to you about in code here....** Michelle has probably figured it out... You are right.. Things taste better over here... I have learned to like new things...
