Great story. Growth is good and all that but you said unmentionables three times (at least!). Very brave. eeek!

I really enjoyed reading this Erin! The sentence where you say “I put my arm around the little girl who was ‘mine’ to keep her out of the rain”, really says so much about the situation to me. Giving is always the greatest gift.. I really believe that and so glad you had this experience and shared it!!

Erin, what a fabulous story. I agree with you on your thoughts about youth missions trips—I think they work mainly on those doing the proclaiming. Of course, the good things done can plant the seed of faith, but I think the most growth comes to those participating. If that makes any sense. I guess I could have just said, “ditto!” to what you said!

Sounds amazing. I would love to do something like that. Somewhere far away, preferably.
