What a trip! I'm pleased to say that everyone has made it home safe and sound with only a small amount of bruises and sore muscles.
Before I left on this journey, I talked to many people who have gone on Thrivent Builds Worldwide trips to understand what it would be like. They all said it was life changing, but they often couldn't describe that statement further, or perhaps didn't feel I could understand.
I get it now. It is a life-changing experience on sooo many levels. So many things about this trip surprised us...the love and hospitality of the Salvadorans, the sense of community and family, and some intense, loving friendships we formed with each other on our team.
But you'll just have to sign up for a trip yourself if you want to understand your friends, spouses, co-workers, sons and daughters who went on this journey. All I'll say is it will blow your mind and fill your heart. Thanks for staying with us through this blog and sharing our experiences. I'm signing off on behalf of our team. Adios!
