On the course of this journey, my eyes have been opened in a way
I never thought possible. My mouth has been singing His praise
faithfully, and my ears have been opened to the incredible power
of the people of these countries. I came thinking that my faith was stronger than theirs and I was wrong. Seeing
the quiet and absolute faith of the people has been overwhelming.
