Back in Canada

After 26 hours of transition my feet are up on the proverbial couch of Canada. After building close friendships with the people living in Paraguay (the churches youth group and with the missionaries) we found it hard to say goodbye. I'm working on a final conclusion video that I hope to post within the next week, but if you are interested I have also posted many more pictures (click here to view). I really appreciated how many of you committed to pray for me during this experience. Overall it was a fantastic trip that led me to grow in many areas. I was able to have many discussions regarding mission strategy and the role missionaries have in discipling believers to do church planting. I was able to experience how missionaries raise their families on the field and some of the struggles and joy's of being a third culture kid. I was able to see passion spill from the missionaries. I will never forget the genuine compassion one missionary showed as he toured us from one room to the next of patients infected with AIDS. My heart has been captured by the beauty of South America and the people that exposed their lives to us so that we could have the chance to learn.
