IN OWN WORDS:

"What are the gifts of mission? The gift of living simply without the need for so much stuff — a thankfulness for life and all that God provides for us from the earth — the gift of being truly present to others. These are just a few of the gifts I’ve received in my mission to the Mayan people of Guatemala."
