Entering into the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere opened my eyes to see things in a plethora of ways and has changed my attitude on life.

It is hard to believe the number of people who asked me‚ “Why the heck would you want to go on a mission trip to your own backyard”. I’m sure for most people‚ spending a week and a half of summer in downtown Akron‚ Ohio does not seem fun. I‚ however‚ thought otherwise.

small memory follows you for the rest of your life. This is just one of those things‚ and even though it’s small...I’m perfectly fine with that.
