This trip is pure, simple, beautiful exchanges created by God's desire to share his gifts with the world. The exchange whether with a baby, a child, a troubled teen, a lonely grandfather, an alcoholic, a kind man, an elderly women-it's all coming from the same spirit. I am overwhelmed with the amount of interaction I have with community and people.
While I have always had a positive connection through God's spirit, it has never been as strong as the present.
On this trip it's constant work through God. He is putting me in the right place at the right time to meet that person to help, to comfort, to reassure, to empower, to smile at, to coach, to listen, and to love. It's a wonderful relationship that is co-created between two people sharing one spirit.
When it comes to simple things like smiling, it feels like there is so much power in just a simple smile(just as Mother Teresa believed and just as I feel).

One day on the bus in La Ceiba, I was sitting and making jokes and everyone was smiling and laughing. I kept my eye on this one older lady sitting in the corner who was not smiling. She was just staring at me and my smile. It felt powerful as her stare had a hold over me. When I smiled again, she looked directly at my smile and she just smiled so big. She had no teeth, but it was the most beautiful smile. The best part was that it felt like my smile was transferred right to her. Those who are true believers and missionaries understand the power that can be released through spirit.
This will be explained more extensively throughout this blog.
It feels like this is my own unofficial and informal missionary work- the work of God started by me. It is so powerful and surreal at times to believe that God would give me his spirit. He would make me so strong, athletic, fashionable, friendly, funny, curious, studious, enthusiastic, inspirational, compassionate- its all from him. The way people respond to me is so unbelievable.
Sitting on buses and making the whole bus laugh and hotels/restaurants/bars making friends with everyone. My whole life and all the people I have helped has been one big mission- one that never stops.

Anything is possible with the power of The Lord.
