Well summer is half over...sad day. I have been busy being an intern and of course watching World Cup Soccer!!! I can't believe that's I've never watched a whole cup before, but its mainly because I never had cable. Vamos Uruguay y Argentina!! Too bad the USA is out :(
Anywhoo, I just came back from our trip to New Orleans. Having been before right after the hurricane, it was nice to see all the change that had occured. The people there have a special appreciation for life and the small blessings they've recieved. I always come back feeling like I've gained just as much as I've poured out. The teenagers that went on the trip worked really hard and visibly grew spiritually.
Tonight at our McAllen mission trip meeting, a song was played. It talked about being hands and feet to be sent out into the world. The line that got me most said, "I wanna be Your voice every time I speak." That means EVERY time. Laying myself aside and realizing that there is hope for EVERY soul. I always thought I had a good handle on that, but more recently I realize that I don't. Just being a nice person will cut it with some, but truly being kind takes a sacrifice. We have been chosen and sent. I love travelling not only because of the sights but because of the people. The people are life and they all need light. Shine on :)
