Short term experience

For me, it is important to learn and apply. There's no point in going somewhere and not learn something. You can even learn if you're going to vacation. Also, there's no point to not apply if you're learning. That is one of my strong reasons for going to this trip. I want to learn new cultures and keep learning them (a week is really not that much to learn) personally. Also it will get me ready to know how to deal with different kinds of people, anywhere in the world.
In this trip, it'll be different, where we're actually planning a concert night; learning how to help and edify a praise team with a desire to change their little town. This is changing me to be more disciplined in what i'm doing, whether in music or sports, to be able to be an example. To commit to things, and being careful those things do not intercede. It is changing my view of the world; just that everyone can so different, but at the same time they can be the same. This trip is also edifying my beliefs as a Christian, it got me to think about my gifts : being more confident in them and to be desiring ones i haven't been thinking about (ones Paul tells us to desire more). The trip also got me to think about how i am getting influenced in my walk; to stay with people that edify me and be different to people that most likely won't (if i can't do that here, should i spect to do that somewhere else? I've learned you can't and it would be irresponsible to attempt.). All in all, i am learning.
