This is so beautiful and I can relate! Thank you for sharing your stories. Our experience in Central America during our college years was so awesome and opened my mind and spirit to how big God is!!!

Our Latin America Studies Program experience was such an eye-heart-mind-opener and game-changer. Here's to expanding perspectives and the people we get to do that with. What a gift to still be in touch all these years later and get to reflect on that. Thank you for sharing, Melissa.

Your welcome! Our Latin American experience made an impact on all of us in our own way. It expanded my perspective so much and put me on a track of not feeling comfortable with my evangelical upbringing without living outside that box. Yes, it is a gift to still be in touch and I will always return to that experience to reflect and dig deep in my soul

Here's to living outside the box! It helps when something/someone/life shows you the box you're living in. I'm so grateful for the way our LASP immersion did that. It's never easy to have one's illusions dismantled and true reality exposed, but SO valuable. And so fun that we're still appreciating it all these years later.
