WLS+AZ Missions - Update #1

  Wednesday, July 1, 2015 at 7:33 AM    


What's WLS like?
IT'S SO HUMID!!!! WLS has been quite an adventure so far... to say the least. Imagine going to camp but knowing only less than ten people and being obviously different from everyone else. The camp is a lot bigger than I imagined it to be before coming. Personally, I was a bit overwhelmed by how much was going on the first day and how intimidated I felt by the amount of people that were at the first Warrior Circle. But slowly, after talking and getting to know the girls in my cabin and talking to people during meals & free time, I discovered that the intimidation was only in my mind. I mean, it's still hard being thrown into an environment completely different from what home feels like and somewhere completely outside of my comfort zone and including that top it off with a culture that I am pretty unfamiliar with... but everyone has been very welcoming and approachable. And although it has been a bit difficult connecting with the girls in my cabin, one thing I know that we have in common is our faith and that I believe is the strongest connection that we can have. But back to what WLS is like... it's very green and you feel sticky all the time, my body is very confused by this weather. All in all, it's been a crazy couple of days. 

Things that I have noticed so far include two things: 1) how little I know about the world outside of California 2) how similar two different cultures can be. Since this is my first missions trip, I came into it not knowing what to expect. My sheltered life has made it quite difficult to understand what life is like outside of my bubble- whether it is as simple as the weather or something as complex as family problems. However, one thing that I have been encouraged by consistently is our likeness in our faith in God. During our down time, I have noticed that our two cultures (Native vs. Asian) have a lot more similarities than I would have imagined before this trip. Two cultures that weigh heavily on ancestral respect and following a westernized religion have a lot of similar issues when it comes to which one should follow. Coming to WLS has widened my eyes in a way I did not expect it would. 

Please pray that we won't be discouraged by any unfamiliar circumstances that may continue to come our way (like the intense THUNDERSTORM at 5am this morning!). Pray that I have the energy to continue these next couple of days.
