In this last month I have been reading blogs from the mission trips that have gone to Liberia, Haiti, and Guatemala. It excites me to read them because in just about 13 days I will be on a 16 hour plane ride to go to Mozambique on my second mission trip. I had the privilege of going to Chicago, Illinois with my youth group in 2009 to help reconstruct a youth center for children and teenagers to come to and feel safe while they hang out, play, and just be kids. There is a special place in my heart for Chicago, and I would love to go there again one day. "You needed Chicago more than Chicago needed you." This has stuck with me ever since, and I will not forget it. It was a phrase that a guest pastor told us during his sermon. It was true for all of us, and is true for my team and I as we continue to prepare for Mozambique. We need Mozambique more than Mozambique needs us.
