Jepsen's Jargon

Before this trip I faced many fears:  I feared disease, the safety of the team, the overwhelming sight of the devastation and most of all I feared the thought of not returning.  The week has come to an end and the only fear I have now is not knowing when I can come back and do it all again.  This experience has been a blessing and the team of individuals here sharing it with me couldn't be any more amazing!  I came to this country with an idea of changing the lives of those we met, but in the grander scheme of things, I was changed.  My heart, like the grinch, has grown three sizes.  I will reflect on what I have done here, what I do on a daily basis and what else I can do in the near future.  This will not be the only mission trip that I will travel on...  Go Joyner Response Team!
