The Things We Learn- Emily Nicolaysen

Our brains do not have the capacity to understand all of God's greatness but thats how He designed us. We may not immediately understand His doings but they always turn out to be beneficial to our spiritual wellbeing. They may be painful, exhausting, or just plain amazing but we need all of them to grow. On this trip God brought many things to my attention, many things I already knew but had put  in the back of my mind or in other words, forgot about. I had forgotten something very important: we will never be perfect but in Him we are. Everyone tries to give their best effort to be the best they can be and despite our attempts we will not be successful on our own. When we completely and totally surrender all of ourselves to His control, amazing things can happen, plus our overall lives will be affected in a positive way. There were too many miracles that happend on this trip to mention but God's presence was evident wherever we went.  I want to use this opportunity to encourage others to be a part of this experience we all know as "Ecuador".  It takes experiences like these to teach us and to bring us closer to our Heavenly Father and it is definitely something that made me stronger; I will carry it with me forever.
