Going to Africa has been the trip of a lifetime. I've made new friends, tried new food, sang new songs, slept in new places, traveled in a bus for 8 hours a day, drove around the side of a mountain, experienced pineapple fanta, had some admirers, and shared laugher and tears with my Malawi family.
It's really been a huge blessing to have been a part of this partnership and something much more than I can't even understand. Everything that I've done and everyone that I have bonded with in Malawi with always be a part of my life and that is something that will stay with me forever. That is a huge thing to think about because I have things and ideas and messages that I can hold on to and share with the world.
My favorite message from Africa, is to always put forth the effort to make a change, even of it wil be tough, because something bigger than this world can be the result of your actions. "God is good. Praise the Lord. To God be the glory. Halleluia, Amen." These are words that I will take from my Malawian family and share with the world around me. This has really been the trip of a lifetime.
