Hi everyone! This is Libby Kim,
Today was our last day, but it was also a very fun one. We went to Casa Hogar Douglas, a children home that is a place to call home to over 80 children. Today we cleaned many different gross things, including eating tables ( who know that eating tables could get so dirty!) and bathrooms. The bathrooms were DISGUSTING!!! After cleaning the BOYS bathroom, ( which, by the way had poop on the walls) We ate lunch. With our bellies stuffed with food, (mostly Oreos) we went back to campus. We then held a pool party for some of the kids from Casa Hogar Douglas. They really enjoyed it. After the kids left, we just hung out. Goodnight!

Season of Change

This mustard seed of passion in my head is about to explode. I feel so heavy, overwhelmed, and even lonely. I don’t want to say this trip has changed my vision…but it has definitely given me SO MUCH [of something?]. I was honored to have the chance to end my last night here with the director of Back2Back Mexico, Todd Guckenberger. He took time out of his EXTREMELY busy schedule to sit down with this child (me) to talk about my passion. He shared with me so many pearls of how he started and continues to grow Back2Back in Mexico. I feel like I [and GBL?] is about to go through a season of radical change and a period of understanding what it truly means to serve with a reckless faith.

This trip has been absolutely difficult, but absolutely awesome. I have:

1. Met and learned from the amazing/dedicated staff here at this mission village.
2. Interacted with some of the most adorable and precious children I’ve ever met. The orphans taught ME so much!
3. Learned so much from Dr. Tony Kim about life – his zeal for “the big man upstairs” has been contagious.
4. Served alongside 3 of the most amazing girls (Libby, Grace, Emily) ever. I have never met any children as dedicated to “the big man upstairs” as these three.
5. Got closer with Dr. Catherine Kim. Not many people know this (including her), but I rarely feel truly loved by people. I don’t know why, maybe it’s just my personality. However, I feel genuinely loved as a brother in christ by her. It’s been great serving with her.
6. Learned a lot about myself and a lot about my vision for the future.
