Bri! This is beautiful! I can see your heart is being moved by the people in this country! Ever since you were a young child, you have always been able to see the positives in every situation, which is truly such a gift! God is doing big things through your trip, and that is what we have been praying for! We pray that He will develop compassion for the poor deep in side of you, so you will want to help and make a difference in this world. “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” Proverbs 19:17 Love you and Miss you tons!! 🙂 Mom

Hi Brianna! Well said! Miss you! Glad you are learning so much about the culture there! Your blog reminded me of this scripture:
1 Samuel 16:71 “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Love, Dad

I love this so much Bri! As incredibly heartbreaking as it is sometimes to see things like this, or to hear stories like this, it is beautiful to see that the people are not allowing that to be their only story. It is beautiful to see them surviving and making the most out of what they have. And, as a photographer, I am sure you love the picturesque beauty as well. I’m enjoying all your photos and insights from this trip, and I look forward to more!
