There are so many more extremes we could share with you but none of these experiences could meet the overwhelming beauty and joy in the people and the surrounding scenery. When you look past the trash on the streets, you are surrounded by luscious mountains and beautiful greenery. Although it’s amazing to take in, no view of the landscape could ever beat the view of a bright smile on a little girl who wants nothing but to hang on you and play with you. Then she takes you to meet her family, and even then, her parents are so vibrant with their shining smiles and warm welcome.

It’s such a beautiful reminder that the Lord is present in every and all circumstances.
