Second to writing, I love to travel. I’ve had some pretty interesting experiences in the process of traveling and at the places we have visited.
Besides most of the United States, we have traveled the western half of Canada, South America (Ecuador, Paraguay, and Brazil), Europe (Spain, Austria, Switzerland), and Asia (Russia and Ukraine). Some places we were there for only a day or two, but others it was for a week or more. Sometimes it was for pleasure; sometimes for mission trips.
The mission trips involved teaching in a Bible college, leading parents’ forums, leading children’s programs in orphanages, in backyards and in schools, and doing construction and remodel work. It was a learning experience for us in many of the situations, and hopefully, a helpful experience for those receiving the work. One has to go on these trips with a humble attitude to learn and not to tell people to do things my way because that’s the way it’s done in my culture. There is a lot of learning when interacting with other cultures.
