I am currently reading a book called "!Gracias!" diary of Henri Nouwen. It's written by an american who serving in mission work all over latin america. It's basically his journal while he was there and what he was thinking while he was there. But there's some amazing quotes that you may like to hear while you are working in india: - pg 16 "True liberation is freeing people from the bonds that have prevented them from giving their gifts to others...It is hard for me to accept that the best I can do is probably not to give but to receive.By receiveing in a true and open way, those who give to me can become aware of their own gifts. After all, we come to recognize our own gifts in the eyes of those who receive them gratefully. Gratitude thus becomes the central virtue of a missionary." - pg 17 "Many people who suddenly find themselves in a totally unfamiliar milieu decide quickly to label that which is strange to them instead of confronting their own fears and vulnerabilities. But we can also use the new opportunity [being in india or south africa - in a strange place] for our own healing [and growth]." - pg 18 "...what i have to offer is not my intelligence, skill, power, [wealthy background], influence, or connections, but my own human brokenness through which the love of God can manifest itself." This journal is like 16 years old or something but I think it is still very relevant. Let me know if you enjoyed these quotes! I miss you Ryan! I am praying for you! Hey Ry!
