"It is hard for me to accept that the best I can do is probably not to give but to receive. By receiving 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." - Henri Nouwen, Gracias
Friends
In my first week in Bolivia, the other IJM intern Emily welcomed me into the office and into a fun group of friends. This is a picture of use hanging out after work on Emily's last day in Bolivia.
