O how I love this place and these people. I don’t think I can ever say that enough and it truly express how I feel.  I just long for this place to come to know the Lord and that He loves them. There are so many lost people here and it is such a dark place at times. With that I have learned that I should have the same heart for the lost back home. They need to hear the Gospel just as much. I should long for them to come to know the Lord just like I long for the people here to come to know Him. The good news that I know should be exploding out of me because it is that great and they need to hear it. I have also learned a lot about what a church truly is. It is not a building but the people that fill that building. I think I have come to realize that more here than any other time in my life. So I hope when I picture the church in the future I do not see just a building but all the believers that make up the church. The church is not just the people that I know in my own personal church but many people across the world that make up the body of Christ. I can’t believe I have been here a month already and only have a month left. I have learned so much and hope I continue to learn more.
