I chose this photo of my mom cutting a skirt pattern with Arlene at the social work site in Los Higos. Last year, my mom came with me to Los Higos for the first time, on my 6th trip there. After my first trip to the Dominican Republic, this experience was something I really wanted to share with the people close to me, yet those who hadn’t been there with me couldn’t relate. I don’t know what it is, but there is something that keeps bringing me back to Los Higos, and it’s such an important part of my life and who I am now, that no one who has not walked through this village with me can ever truly understand me. It means so much to me that I have been able to walk through this village with my mom – and even more that she would return to it on her own.
This photo was taken on one of the first days at the base. Throughout the two weeks, I saw Hyojin and Eunmi seeking God through reading the Bible and fellowship with each other. It was really beautiful to see, and what I miss most about my Christian life in college. As team leader, I’m so glad that they got this time to grow closer to each other as they grew closer to God.
