– there are more minature goats then people crossing the street…
– your pastor/contact gets in a fist fight on the way home from church …
– you and your teammate learn the hard way not to spray a 3 in. cockroach with RAID – yes they do fly, and it will be right into your bed…
– malaria among the squad becomes as common as the every-day head cold…
– when a local is speaking with you and puts his hand up in the “stop” motion and says “Ok, I am coming…” it really means he is going and will proceed to walk away
– you will be asked to preach… every day… five times a day…

– Jesus is a Weeeenah Maahhhhn (that is, a Winner Man) and you can apparently carry Him on your back…
– you go camping in Togo with 3 random people, pick up some hitch hikers from American University, get in a fender bender, and still somehow manage to have the weekend of a lifetime…
– you get invited to a goodbye party for a co-worker you met that day, show up with 20 ppl you don’t know, and salsa dance while you are waiting for your food…
– you meet amazing people that will probably be a part of your life somehow or another even though you only knew them for 2 weeks – some will only remain in your fondest memories and some will keep in touch for a lifetime – but all equally meaningful relationships…
– the biggest thing that is motivating you to get through the end of this month is the fact that there is a Mc Donalds and a Starbucks waiting for you at your 4 a.m. layover in Madrid, Spain
T.I.A. BABY…. 🙂
