This month, Kayla, our newest staff member, sends us a postcard from Myanmar.Favorite Memory: My favorite memory was our last day. I was exhausted and still nauseous after an all night bus ride . None of us wanted to sleep, however. Collectively, we decided to go back to the location of our very first camp. We dearly missed those kids and desperately wanted to hug and kiss them one last time. No one knew we were coming. I jumped out of the van, my heart pumping in exhilaration, as I called out some of the kids' names. Watching their surprised little faces transform into tearful and exuberant reactions as they ran into our arms still warms my heart years later. Favorite Meal: Mohinga and the bok choy!One thing you wish you would have known before you went: I wish I would have understood more of the various languages.Don't leave the States without: a polaroid camera and film. It is an amazing gift to leave behind.Don't leave Myanmar without: A longyi, the traditional skirt. Even men wear them! The biggest thing God taught you: How to love others while I am experiencing a great deal of painWhy should someone go to Myanmar: Until a few years ago (I don't remember exactly how long) Myanmar was completely closed from the outside world. It is thrilling to witness God's work in this country even when missionaries were not allowed in.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size="20"][vc_separator color="black" style="dashed"][mk_padding_divider size="20"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="23666" img_size="full" alignment="center" style="vc_box_circle_2"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][mk_padding_divider size="30"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1515250269777{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"] We are so excited to have Kayla join our team to help with purchasing.
