Our plane arrived and our first stop was baggage claim. Suitcases and duffle bags. Boxes and backpacks. These represent all the material baggage we brought along with us to Mexico. Many of us also brought other kinds of baggage with us. The kind of baggage that come with biases, preconceived ideas, and expectaions of how this trip was suposd to go. We also came with are normal attitudes and our notions of what constitutes a rich and full life. We have seen so many people that we would consider poor because they lack material things but truthfully they rich because of their commitment to their families, their friends, and their savior
When we head home next Tuesday, we will be sure to bring home all our suicases and duffle bags but hopefully we can leave the other kind of baggage behind.
God has blessed us through all the wonderful people we have met. Please join us in praying for them and our team.
Bless you all.
