Short and Simple and Sponges (Post Trip analysis)
Two months ago I was leaving the country for the first time. I would be traveling for 41 hours to a place that is literally halfway around the world. I think I can say for my entire team that we expected something entirely different. Upon arrival, we immediately realized what it meant to be a foreigner. It became challenging in some ways in that we couldn’t understand the language and didn’t really know what to expect when it came to adjusting to something new like this.

If you would’ve asked me a few years ago if I knew where Swaziland is, I would’ve asked if that is even a real place? Now, I can tell you it’s in South Africa but even more importantly, it’s in Gods heart and His hands. Never in my life have I seen a place so full of God....
