- Team Struggles:
- Culture difference
- A really reserved culture
- Like to think and keep thoughts to themselves
- Finding what or how we serve best for the team (strength)
- Discouragement and regrets
Not passing out a flier or share with a particular person - Was not able to see the fruits of our labor
- Team Excitements:
- Seeing our prayers being answered in front of our eyes
- Wanting a second chance to interact with particular person
- Wanting to share our stories
- Strength and endurance to do what we do
- Knowing that we have planted the seeds
- Opening opportunities for conversation for Mikko and Heidi
- Fellowshipping and encouraging local brothers and sisters
- Like what the Bible said we are one body in Christ
- We were able to interact on a more personal level than other Finnish people
- Meeting and talking to Finnish people
- Experiencing Finnish culture aka sauna
- This is a place where Finnish people actually talk to each other
- We are completely REAL with each other (totally naked)
- My Struggles:
- Lost my passport in Finland on the first day
- Difference in personality and thoughts on the team
- Seeing who I am
- Not knowing how to react to issues or struggles
- Isolating myself when I am troubled by issues and thoughts because I do not want to cause a commotion or an issue
- A bit over sensitive or concern for others
- My Excitements:
- Someone turned in my passport to lost and found
- Seeing how much people have grown in a short period of time
- Stepped out in faith and share my story
- Learned about leadership from Sarah
- Found joy in things I do
- Able to serve and spend time with awesome people
- Able to encourage, bless, and push people
- Knowing we are part of the foundation of what God is going to do at Finland
- We are ONE body and family in Christ no matter where we go!
