What we leave behind

So I think maybe because its holiday time or maybe just because its been nine months since I've been home but I wanted to mention a little of what we as volunteers or anyone serving abroad sacrifices. Besides even the simple material things that I miss (good food, warm housing, utilities, etc lol) its the experiences, family and friends that I really miss. We as volunteers leave behind our family and friends in hopes of making people's lives that we've never met a little better. So if your reading this keep all your loved ones who are abroad in your thoughts and prayers and send them some love when you get the chance, it will mean the world to them, trust me :-)
