Welcome back, did you change? What did you gain from your trip?(besides 2 weeks of emails) Learn anything? What did you do? Where did you stay? How did you help?
I didn't change in philosophy , so to speak, though I believe I grew as a person, gained knowledge and appreciation of what we have here in the states ...I gained an incredible understanding of just what really happens in some of these 3rd world countries... I learned some Thai... I shared meals and testimonies and philosophies with staunch Budists parents of Christian children,...I helped paint churches, I taught english to school children, etc... we stayed a few days in Bangkok, and a week+ between Chiang Mai and Mae Wong village... I hope we were a positive influence on those we came in contact with, only time will tell..
hardest part for me was being away from my family for 2 weeks~!
