" The world is a book and those that do not travel read only one page "

Each of us would tell you, if asked, that the trip was exciting, fun, and truly a wonderful experience. Beyond the obvious responses, the account of the page we just read would vary. One member of our group could tell how she potentially saved a man’s life. Another member might mention how he discovered that being a Christian can be a blast. Several participants would speak of the relationships built with other members of their group, as well as, with various individuals in Ireland. Most could explain how they served people in and around the Dublin area either by babysitting (so that a missionary couple could spend a much needed day alone) or by painting and cleaning around the community. Some would struggle to put everything they experienced into words.

When it comes right down to it, not one of us can tell you everything written on the "page" of that "book". Only God knows its entirety. Time will surely reveal all of its contents to each of us. As we continue to grow and mature, God will continue to use this experience to mold each of our lives.
