| Friday July 6 Wow. I�m home. I�ve returned to the real world and it�s a scary place. We got to the airport at five and when we stepped off the plane our families and church members were waiting with balloons, signs, flowers and hugs. Channel 13 news was there too, and I got interviewed. Normally I would have been completely nervous and wouldn�t have been able to talk. But this time I was totally calm and actually spoke well. It was amazing. It shows how much this trip has changed me! It�s nice to be home with my clean room and clothes and everything. I can already tell it�s going to be hard to stay strong against the attacks of the world. But I can do it, with God on my side. I have so much inside of me, so much to give. And though I�m home this missions trip is not over. It�s effects will keep resounding and growing. People will be touched and lives changed because of all that God has done in me. |
