Liberia -2010

Quick Review of My Life Changing Trip to Liberia...
Things I already miss:
  • Children walking arm and arm with me, longing to be held, making sure the hair is not in my face, reminding me to zip up my fanny pack, loving that I was there and knowing somehow in God mysterious ways that He loves us and we are family because of Jesus Christ!
  • Building encouragement into the lives of kids that may not always know that they are loved by God and specifically created to live out His purposes in their lives.
  • The Liberian accent"o", and the joy in kids faces.
  • The laid back Liberian culture.
  • Laughing with our team!
  • Trying to see how many people we can stuff into a mini (and I mean mini) van!!
  • Everything!
Reasons I glad to be home:
  • My Husband that is loving, supportive and encouraging...but mostly "gets" me and my craziness.
  • Missing my family and knowing they understand the mission field and were anxious to hear all the details.
  • Sweet friends and church family that I know love and support me.
  • Cotton (my Bichon)
  • Having A/C and not be sticky 5 minutes after you get out of the shower.
  • Not a whole lot else...could repack and be gone next week.

It sounds amazing, I'm so glad you got to so see where your kids are from and experience a bit of their culture.
I feel very honored that my sister has such a heart for God and all his children -
Love you - Laurie
