love them

I love mission trips and I think that everyone should go on one at some point in there life. They are life changing experiences and they show how similar people of a different culture are to us. Down in the D.R. there is racism with the Haitians and the Dominicans. For me it was hard to point out who was who, but from what I heard, people are racist and they want the Haitians to go back to their side of the island. As for poverty, Haitians are poorer than the Dominicans as a country. The Dominican does have some towns that are poorer than others but as a whole they are richer than Haiti.
Since I have visited both sides of the Island, I have come to the conclusion that no matter how we treat them or what we look like to them, they still think that we are awesome and they know that we are there to help. They know that they have people to trust. Kids now that we are there to give them hope for the future. Parents know that we are there to help their children, but also to help them with a better sense of understanding of certain things.
God loves all of us the same and no matter how we look, feel, do, etc; God still loves us!
