So...Charity and Robin have been picking up the slack on blogging so here is something I wrote after leaving KGF...reflection of sorts. Love to everyone. Please send prayer and any help you can to Haiti...peace be with them.
I am sitting at the hotel in Bangalore watching children who two weeks ago were complete strangers and have now become close family. The mission trip to India was beyond anything I could have imagined or predicted. The mantra 'expect the unexpected' was a clear understatement for our two weeks in South India. We came with the mission to deliever eye care to people in rural India and due to circumstances out of our control we ended up changing plans...many times. I had the opportunity and good fortune to do a variety of missions during our time. I was welcomed into a wonderful family, invited to conduct children's programs, help facilitate eye care clinics and work doing wound care with lepers. Every day was a struggle and blessing. I leave this experience a better person in faith. The flexibility of my team and help from people in the community came together to create a unique mission trip experience. I leave blessed.
