Because Lord of the Rings.
Pues mijos, the last day went about as expected: church was good, but sad; lunch was delicious, but sad; our send-off at the airport was powerful, but sad. Something you should know: you can't love and serve people properly without giving them a part of your heart. This is beautiful and as it should be. However, when they leave your life; it hurts. This too is beautiful and as it should be.
Never withhold your heart from someone you are ministering to because they'll leave someday and hurt you. We're made to feel it when people leave. Think of how Paul writes to the churches he's helped plant (go read something like Philippians if you're having trouble thinking of where to start).
Suffice to say: God is good and hurt is ok and community is beautiful.
Glad to be back!
I was honestly expecting one last post about how you guys went back to your "normal lives" but if this is the last post, I'm happy. It was so awesome reading about the whole trip. I'm glad you guys came and happy you made it back.
