1. Ministry can be as complex as building something or as simple as a hug – esp. when tragedy strikes (Honduras)
  2. Ministry is not just what our contacts have set for us, sometimes we have to get creative and create our own (as God directs of course) and it's beautiful. (El Salvador)
  3. You feel like you've lived in an area for years rather than a month because it seems everywhere you go you find friends – even randomly running to someone downtown while catching a bus. (El Salvador)
  4. It not worries me when part of the tail pipe or muffler is in the backseat rolling round me feet, and the "seat" I'm sitting in is missing about 89% of the seat. (Both)
  5. It's no longer scary but kind of cool to see the road when looking at my feet while in a bus (El Salvador)
  6. It has become a game to see how many people we can fit around one table for dinner because we don’t want to keep moving the second table. So far we can fit 9 people at a small square table that was made for 4. (El Salvador)
  7. Discovering that many people have a very similar story. Many people that I have prayed for have a spouse and child(ren) in the states. The people I've prayed for have been deported after living about 5 years in the states or have been deported for five years (El Salvador)
  8. People get excited to see Gringos and want to practice their English. (Everywhere)
  9. We get excited when we see an American (or Canadian) and shout with excitement "Look! A white person!" to the rest of the team. (Everywhere)
  10. Finding random people that have lived in the same town or few blocks as some of your teammates. (El Salvador)
  11. Going to the park to pray for people only to find a small line of people / people just coming up to you wanting prayer. YAY for Divine appointments!
