As I am writing this we are all packing up to leave Armenia. It is really hard for us all to think about leaving this place. In some respects it does not feel right that we are going to London in a few hours. We have seen so much, especially in these last couple days, and I know I have not even begun to process everything I have seen and experienced. I feel like I should be staying here and continuing to embrace these people after being made increasingly aware of how much they are hurting and have been wounded. Or at least I should be going home and sharing with others about this as I try to understand everything that has happened. I am afraid that with a few days off for "fun" I will forget the paradigm shift that has happened and I will so easily fall back into my American skewed perspecrtive of what is good and important. I don't know if this making any sense...
I know that this trip has impacted all of us so deeply and I hope you all have gotten a glimpse into that through these blogs. Pray for us as we depart for London that we will enjoy the time together without the responsibilites of our mission work here, but at the same time that we will not forget the burden God has put on our hearts throughout this trip. Pray that you will be able to see the change in us when we come home because God has been so good and we hope to never be the same again!
Thank you for the opportunity you have given us in supporting us on this journey and I hope someday you will all get to see Mt. Ararat in its majestic glory on a clear morning such as this. God truly is an amazing CREATOR God.
