Coming home to America has been a really bittersweet experience for me, every day I miss the kids and yearn for those moments and relationships I built during those 3 weeks in Mzuzu, Malawi. However, at the same time I miss my family and the normalcy that I am accustomed to here in the United States, so I do my best to blend the lessons that I learned from the kids, group members, and the Lord and apply them to my everyday life. While recapping my trip with loved ones I’ve learned that I can recall many more things than I actually remember happening which I think is a testament to the amount of teaching, and fun we had at all times. I feel incomplete honestly, I feel like I have so much more to offer those kids and pray I get the opportunity to return and continue molding these young people.
Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. (Romans 12:12) This verse reminds me every day that even though there are a lot of things I can control there are also a lot of things that I cannot. Which I believe the children embody and demonstrate everyday which is why I tell everybody that the children taught me far more than I taught them. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to participate in such a life changing experience and wish MOAM the best in all of their future endeavors.
