Debriefing

Hi there!

I’m awake far later than I intended to be, but the fellowship here is so wonderful that I couldn’t get myself to stop the wonderful conversations about our lives, our problems, our solutions, and our faith. It’s amazing to see how much closer we all are than we were at the beginning of the trip. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by great people. All week, I have felt that God brought me on this trip for a reason, and tonight we had the chance to do some debriefing and let out our emotions. Through conversation, it was easier to see where God revealed himself, and we were able to build upon each other.

I am currently so tired that I’m slightly delirious, seeing as it is 3:14am and I am half listening to some very entertaining conversations. The love I feel for everyone here, both our team and the families in Tijuana, is so unbelievably awesome. I am blown away by the rush of emotions as well as the way that each of us grew.

I can’t wait to be back in Seattle in approximately 8 hours. This trip has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and I praise God for this opportunity.

I miss everyone at home, and love you all!
