End of Day 5: no catchy title

As we woke this morning at last everyone was rested. Spirits were high and Mi Americans knew we were on a mission.. Trouble is its already almost over! Over the last few days relationships have grown, prayers have been answered, and joy has radiated from our pours..( or maybe that's the Deet). Whatever it is, bitter sweet I believe is the taste of the hour.
They asked me why I came down here a few days back and then I couldn't give them an answer.. I thought for sure bye today I'd be golden and know exactly why the Lord has brought me here. Truth is I still don't know... Yet I'm 100% at peace with my utter undeniable unknowingness!
This trip has been difficult for me as meeting new people is definitely not my strong suit.. And I structure my life in such a way as to ensure I am never uncomfortable. Yet here, I'm constantly meeting new people bye the day, and I'm miles away from my comfort zone.. Forced to convert;) it is a little easier.. I mean when all your options are ..A.. Then ..A.. is the easy answer.. The trouble is at home there's tons of options.. I guess my point is there are people everywhere back home whom I've yet to meet. Even more troublesome there are people in our church whom I haven't been blessed with meeting.
For those who have read this help me to be more interactive when you see me.. Push me to move forward when you see me standing still. And if it's a little awkward for you remember it's 10Xs as bad for me.
Idk if missions are my calling but I know I don't want to waste time and be OK with not knowing people. We are brother and sisters, who enjoy tremendous blessings, as part of Christs Body at "The Branch" .
Thank you for growing my spirit, and my family over the last year!!! I love you all;)
