I have found peace with all of this. I know I left on such an intense note. But Christina, Jessica and I went to a Christian bookstore on Thursday that they knew about through the missionary. Literally the first book that caught my eye and picked up was called "The Good News About Injustice" and it's all about the Christian perspective of why all of this happens throughout the world. It has been helping a lot. And Jacqui (the roomie in Hong Kong) sent me the most encouraging, long, positive, reinforcement email and it was just such a good read and really renewed my faith in what I am doing here. And I just pray that somewhere down the line, God has me in his action plans for some (ANY) third world country, or making a difference in some soul-crushing plight that the world needs some form of answer to.
I had a fantastic trip. Totally life changing in ways I don't know if I will be able to talk about for quite awhile, but just really too unreal. I kept having to remind myself that this was real: I was really in this amazing country doing this amazing thing meeting these amazing people, going to UN TRIALS, seeing all those world famous amazing temples. It was just too good to be true.
Thanks Mommy, Sid, and Daddy SO SO SO SO MUCH. For everything. For your constant support (and monetarily too), encouragement, and all the constant outpouring of your love. I cant wait to get home and actually speak to everyone!
