There are of course friends that I would love to tell you about or to show pictures of, but will not be able to. This is frustrating because their stories deserve telling, their burdens worth sharing.
What I can share is that I was very humbled by the people I met. Not because they humbled me, but because they showed a boldness, a dedication, that we in America would do well to emulate. They know fear, threats, and risks. They've counted the cost. They've decided the cost is worth the opportunity to believe, to grow, to mature as Children. We back down, they stand up. We seek comfort, they are joyful in their discomfort. We seek peace, they know Peace.
Some day you will hear their stories - and what stories they will be. What will you and I have to tell them?
