blessings.

It is interesting to see life from a different point of view than the one you have always known, to see how the rest of the world lives and what is valuable in other countries and cultures. You don't realize how truly blessed you are till you see hundreds of people who may have walked for over an hour to wait outside in a line for 7 hours in hopes of seeing a dentist. And they skip work for this because this opportunity at seeing a dentist only comes once a year. It is even harder to see these people turned away at the end of the day, you want to trace back and go through school again and learn to be a dentist just for that one moment, just so you can do whatever is necessary to help them. You see how truly blessed you are when your clothes are made of more fabric than worn out holes. You see how truly blessed you are when you have been given an opportunity to travel 9000 miles to serve the Lord's people, and it is even a bigger blessing to be given the opportunity to come face to face with God when you look into the eyes of his children.
