What I "got" from Ecuador...







my mind is on system overload from my trip so ill make this easy more for me than you...






I learned that:



1. It really can take just 1-2 people to make a difference!



2. I child is more resilient than we know!



3. You don't need "things" to be happy



4. A humans will power to survive is an amazing thing



5. Americans are spoiled



6. Even most Americans at the "poverty level" are still wealthy compared to what I saw in Ecuador!



7. Bonds and life long friendships really can happen in one week!



8. "~" this sign really can make a difference of what you are saying in spanish...anos or anos with the squiggly(lol)



9. I dont know as much spanish as i thought!



10. having a sister is a beautiful thing that shouldnt be taken for granted!



11. that i dont need to be on a beach with an umbrella drink and a pool to have a great vacation..although im not crazy those are nice too!



12. how a heart can completely melt when a child who has nothing can still have a BIG beautiful smile and so much love in their heart!



13. That God is very visible all you have to do is LOOK!



14 that I cannot wait to do another mission!



15. Im no longer going to freak out if I dont have "enough" under the Christmas tree and wether rock band is going to be in b4 Christmas or not...my kids will not die!(or Craig either! LOL)






God Bless!
