"Burdened" is a great way to describe it and i hadn't put that thought to my feelings yet. a lot of me just doesn't know how to respond because the situation is so different up here. not that its better or worse, but its just different. we still need to love people the same...

I enjoyed every second of it. I did not, however, leave spiritual high. In a way I left burdened. Burdened with a selfish comfortable lifestyle I've been leading and I felt disgrace for how much I took for granted. I also realize now, how high of a calling we are lead too. One cool thing I'll get outta this is the relationships we built and the realization that I love being in messy poor places. Living in a cardboard box for Jesus doesn't seem that far off for me. Thank you Todd for your leadership through out the church but specifically on this trip. Praise God We were truely blessed on this trip. I enjoyed every second of it.

It looks and sounds like your trip was great. You were in my prayers while you were down there. The relief work was a great experience for me. I learned many things from it as well (I was down over New Years). Dave Blackwell is leaving today to go down and help and I'll be headed down in two weeks. And then Dave and I will go back down the end of July into August. We're still hoping to get out your way sometime soon. You, your family, and the well ministry are in my prayers.... Hey man!
