Sara's thoughts on her time in Ecuador...


During my time in Ecuador, I experienced a lot, and learned a lot. I enjoyed every second I had at Damien House, and all the paitents touched my heart. Every single one of them is special and I loved sitting with them, and listening to them. I continue to pray for them everyday. Visiting Duran and spending time with the children at the after school programs is something I will never forget.

I think that those images will always be in my head and I don't think I can ever forget that place. I think something that will stick with me is that those children have nothing, but are still happy and I think they bring beauty to the place. I love all the people I have met, and all the friendships I've made. This experience taught me to live simply, and be grateful for what I have. I'm so thankful for this experience and I hope to return to Ecuador!
