After a grueling 12 hours of travel (nothing compared with my colleagues from London or Chennai!!), I arrived at home to the smiling faces of my kids and wonderful husband! We were lucky enough to experience no earthquakes in Peru! The week before we arrived, there had been three...
It was an experience I can't really describe. I truly thank my company for giving us this experience, my friend and colleague for nominating me, my husband who made it possible for me to go, and my kids for understanding why I wasn't with them for a week. I can only hope these memories help guide my decisions every day, my children understand we are citizens of the world and it is our responsibility to pay it forward, and that I can bring my husband and kids on my next "mission" trip!!!!
I'll end with a quote from St. Therese:
"Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts...He cherishes simplicity. Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be--and becoming that person."
