Over and Out

Back to the ol USA. What a trip in more ways than one. The showers are so luxurious, my bed is so soft, and the grocery stores are massive. I really hope people appreciate everything they have here because we really do have more than many people could ever imagine. My experience abroad was more than life-changing, it was soul-changing. It changed the whole paradigm that I look at the world with. It changed the way I appreciate things and apprecaite people. It gave me new life goals and helped me learn so much about myself. The people of Thailand are the happiest group of people I have ever met. I will definitely try as hard as I can in the future to do everything I can for these people and give them back as much as they have given me.

Top 10 things I learned in Thailand:

1. Mormons can surprise you with their open-mindedness.

2. Toilets that you can sit on should be considered a luxury, not to mention ones that actually flush.

3. The ugliest fruits taste the best.

4. Beautiful music can be made with just a leaf and a drum.

5. High fives cross cultural barriers.

6. Newborn babies are purple and waxy.

7. There is nothing more gratifying than helping children.

8. Dogs with mange are just as loveable.

9. Amy's clothes double as great sweatrags after I've had a day out in the sun...but only when she's still wearing them.

10. It's never too late to find a passion.
