Nicaragua Reflection – Calling & Connection
We find the Lord when we seek him with all of our heart. Sometimes life is a very scary and intimidating thing and we don’t always want to follow what the Lord is giving us or putting in front of our lives. Coming on this mission trip was a big step for me. It has…
Nicaragua Reflections – Family Day
Today, in the grand land of Nicaragua, was family day! What an incredible experience that was. To begin the day, we welcomed the girls’ families into the villa and had a church service with them.

Nicaragua Initial Reflections
It has been an incredible first day. We arrived at the Villa in the early afternoon and had a little bit of downtime to settle in as a heavy rainstorm came through. Later, we got to help set up a volleyball net and put together gift bags for tomorrow’s family carnival. My favorite part of…

Cambodia Reflection – Elephants
Today I had an encounter with an elephant named Soka. The team had been giving him fruit and sugar cane to eat and we each had the chance to have him take food from our hands. I had run out of things to give him at this point and decided to reach out regardless and…
Cambodia Reflection – Killing Fields
I remember when I got my first gold coin – I was ecstatic and enamored by its weight and beauty. I wasn’t going to spend that little guy even if the next Polly Pocket came out and I was out of allowance. I wasn’t particularly into collecting money, but the uniqueness and intrinsic value of…
