Final Reflection-Ariela

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been back for more than a week.  I loved working with this team and will carry with me the memory of how each member made this a wonderful, successful trip.  I will remember the following about each person:
·      Bethany for her humor and how she connected with each team member.
·      Grant for his steadfastness and reliability.
·      Jared for his enormous heart and the way he didn’t let language get in the way of showing people that he truly cared about them.
·      Karisa for her organizational skills and ability to keep us on track.
·      Lindsey for her eagerness to help in any way.  Also, for her intensity in listening to people and in doing her jobs.
·      Max for his gregariousness and generosity. 
·      Sandy for her sweet nature and how she showed her love through smiles and pictures.  Her leadership, along with Lindsey’s, in our daily worship was invaluable.
·      Tony for his quiet presence.  He allowed others to share and speak and was a great support to me as a co-advisor.
·      Zac for his boundless enthusiasm – even when feeling pretty sick!  He showed his interest in the people and culture by asking questions, making observations, and connecting with our Nicaraguan partners.

This was a great team!  I was so blessed to be a part of it and thank all the families that shared their son/daughter with us. 

May God richly bless you all!
