I came on this trip, not knowing what to expect. I have never been on a missions trip, and I simply wanted to build relationships with people who really just needed a friendly touch. I have slowly realized however, that these people would change me in a way i'm not sure I'll ever be able to explain.
I think there is a time in peoples lives, where they experience something, and they simply just don't have the words for it. This feeling is exactly what I am experiencing. I think, something inside of us changes, and its completely from God. God has been known to take peoples breath away, and if, when I get home, I cannot explain what happened, it's because of the people and the relationships here.
The people here, are pulling at my heart, and I know God wont let me shake them loose. I love the people here, and I desperately want to be able to come back to them. The relationships I've built here, will be forever. In America, I feel like relationships are merely surface feelings toward others sometimes. Here in Romania, if someone asks you how your day was, it means more than just the simple answer of good or bad. Its the extra step that people take, that effect your feelings and emotions, and make them friends forever.
In Christ,
Aaron Curtis
