So i've begun to realize that I tend to get attached to people really quickly. As i stated in a previous blog, I was in Oaxaca, Mexico for a week; and yes, that was enough for me to become attached to the people and to the village of Tlaxiaco. I really do miss the cool breeze of the village and the gorgeous mountains. I definitely miss all the people that I met. The other missionaries were awesome and I am so blessed to have met them. I honestly didn't think that a week would make me them this much lol. I thnk it was that they had such a welcoming spirit, it reminded me of my family and I felt so comfortable around everyone. Every person that I talked was different/unique in their own way and I found that really intriguing. I wish that I had more time to get to know them all a lot better, but realistically, i know that i probably won't see any of them until heaven.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that God has given me to go abroad and build bonds with such wonderful Christians and with the local people. I've noticed that with each missions trip I am able to be more open with who I am. I am more willing to be vulnerable. I notice that those barriers that I once had are beginning to topple down; thanks to the wonderful love and genuine friendship of my wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ.
The past missions trip that I have been on, I have made some pretty awesome friends. I still keep in touch with some of them to this day. I am so grateful fro my friends in India, El Salvador, all over the states and in Mexico; and I am so grateful that I can still keep in touch with some of them.............Mexico was too short of a trip. I wish I had more time to go back and really get to know the people in the village and the other missionaries. What I will always remember from this brief trip is the love that I experienced. This experience was unique and one of a kind. I can't even put it into words. It's something that one has to experience themselves.
......oh how i love writing without restrictions....without being concerned if this sentences supports my thesis or if my paragraphs have a consistent topic...i love just being the random me......praise God! =D
