I miss Bolivia most when I'm in church. Especially during the singing. Maybe because when a group of people sing together, it's so collective and unifying. And while we're doing it, I'm reminded how connected I am to these people and then I remember the people that I am connected to, but not with. Then my heart aches and I'm moved because of where I am and saddened because of where I'm not.

"my heart aches and I'm moved because of where I am and saddened because of where I'm not."
mmhmm.
I feel ya.
I miss the Congo most in church, too. There's something about worship in other countries that's mostly missing from our services, isn't there?
