I've always wanted to see where I was born... I've often thought about El Salvador and just accepted it wouldn't be possible to go there because I would never have the time or someone to go with me. I was excited to not only be going there to serve, but to go with my future wife and to be working with little kids!!
Going into it, I knew it was going to be tough to see the poor areas of the country and see MY people having to live like that. It did give me a lot of joy, however, working hands-on with kids, in an effort to provide them with hope for a better life.
Now, I have a restored my passion for helping others. Eventhough my family and I will live in the United States, I want to help build up the communities we worked with. I'm thankful for the people that we were able to meet and work with. I won't ever forget the experience and am truly blessed to have had this opportunity.
