What i am thinking in Nicaragua

This is my first mission trip. I got to thinking about something as we were driving around town moving and all. I started thinking about how different the culture is or how “bad” things are here. And I wasn’t saying this with a negative voice, it was just my initial reaction.

But what I began to realize was our deep similiarities. No matter the country there are still parents trying to do what is best for their kids. Teenagers who struggle with who they want to be. Young adults trying to find their place in the world. These are our similarities. These common life challenges are what connect us.
