i wanted to respond back to him and say that i do miss living the "normal" teenage life, but really, i don't ever feel that way much anymore. i'm starting to feel pretty comfortable.
many people view Africa as another world, and in being here, it would be easy to think that, it IS different. but really, it is the same. human beings just hungry for God. hungry for a purpose, for love, for life. they want to be able to support their children, they want to be able to work, they want to be able to give back, they want to be good, noble people. they want to feel important, and needed, and beautiful. the children want to play, and to eat, and to learn, and to be loved. we are all the same. we do not live in different worlds, but the same one. the same God created us for the same purpose and that was to serve Him and to love and care for His people. it is universal.
sincerely yours,
Katie
