Wow, what a trip. Spent a whole day reflecting, praising the big man upstairs, and discussing the trip with my sister. Amidst all the patients we saw and service events we did, my absolute favorite part was spending time with the kids (e.g., playing tag, blowing bubbles, wrestling, having them teach me Spanish, playing in the pool, etc). Many of these kids grew up in Children Homes (i.e., orphanages) from the moment they could remember. Many of these homes have only one caregiver to every 8-10 children, so a lot of the little ones are just starved for attention. It was absolutely awesome seeing how appreciative they were and how big their smiles were when we would play with them or spend the time seeing them in clinic.

Believe it or not, after a day of being in the US…I really miss the 93-degree whether and humidity. I miss how simple life can be. I miss waking up to the amazing mountains that surround Monterrey, Mexico. I miss going out and just serving children during the day. I miss getting my hands dirty, cleaning bathrooms and painting walls. I miss receiving hugs by little kids that are just so pure and so loved by their Father above. I long for more!

Thank you EVERYONE who has supported me – financially and spiritually! I thank you for partnering with me and joining me on this trip. I thank you for giving me an experience that changed my life…and an experience that has shown me what serving with a reckless faith means!

Looking up,
Daniel Lui
