                       The Trip That Forever Changed Me

For years I have had a desire to go on a dental mission. This year was the first time everything worked out.  I found an amazing organization through the New Orleans Catholic Diocese called “Christ the Healer” that is completely medical focused.  I am grateful I was able to be part of their team. I went to Grenada, Nicaragua.

I was able to treat 10-15 people daily, Monday through Friday.  I visited an active volcano.  I swam in a lake created by a volcano.  I toured three separate orphanages. The week I was there was a life changing experience.  I served.  I gave.  What I was given back was more than I gave.

 It’s easy to be participating in your life, living your life.  Not realizing the little bubbles we live in that are our lives.  I love my life and my bubble.  Seeing others outside of that bubble was an eye-opening experience.  It was powerful to help meet the most basic human needs of the Nicaraguans.  I witnessed their gratefulness and contentment in what they had and where they were.

In these times of unrest and division, I encourage you to step out of your bubble and look around.  We have so much to thankful for, to be grateful for.  I hope you have a wonderful August.
