Norwegians in Cuba! Mexicans in Thailand!

Yes, folks, the world is bigger (or smaller?) than we had expected! Today two groups of people arrived back here in Culiacan. One, a group of four 20-something girls from a month in Thailand, sharing the gospel and ministering to the people there. Another, the other half of Brisa´s Discipleship Training School from a month in Cuba. Both had amazing stories to tell. The best part about tonight was talking with two of the DTS girls, one from Norway and one from Switzerland.  

These girls are amazing. The one from Switzerland knows at least six languages. I lost count. And I feel like I´ve known the girl from Norway for my whole life. I think we could be good friends, maybe...Hearing about their language proficiency and about the places they have traveled made me SO excited and I hope I can spend a lot of time in other places learning languages. I´m sure God hasn´t called me to be a full-time missionary, but I´m definitely stoked to do short-term missions trips. Or maybe more trips like this one, staying in one place for a few months or something. What an awesome, diverse world God has created. And so many opportunities to help people and travel at the same time. I´m grateful tonight for encouragement and excitement.

Okay, so what about you? Do you want to go somewhere? Will you take me?? =)

You sound like you are having an incredibly adventurous and wonderful time :) I was wondering though, are you still able to check your personal e-mail account? I have a bunch of stuff I need to talk to you about, and I don't want to fill your whole little blog up. Anyhow, if you do, just e-mail me a quick hi or something at fergdisney@yahoo.com, and then I can fill you in before my b-day. Ciao for now!
Love Always,
Brookie :)
