Day 5:
Our medical mission was a great way to wrap up this beautiful journey. We finished they day with an emotional dinner, showing our growth and strength as a community. This experience has truly changed each of us in a different way, everyone having a different story to share when they get back. We learned to adapt to difficult circumstances and trust in each other. Throughout this week, we have been powered by the people’s gratitude and love. Although, this community does not have much, they are able to live joyfully through Christ, blessing us every step of the way.
From the perspective of two teenagers who live in a world where we are exposed to phones more than hardships, this has affected our outlook on life. As we go back to our homes, we will keep the memories and stories alive, praying for our patients safety and recovery, even after the mission.
These people truly have changed us to do everything in love and compassion, although some of the stories we have heard are sad we keep them in our hearts remembering that it is more blessed to give than receive. With our leaders Eric Condon, Manuel Silva, and Denise Zertuche and our amazing staff, doctors, and translators we formed relationships, made memories, and ultimately changed lives.
Thank you so much Faith In Practice for this opportunity and for the lessons we will carry throughout our lives.
Thank You so so so much!
Sincerely,
