EVAN'S STORY
5 of my favorite things so far:
1. Knocking down walls was awesome. It felt like I was Thor.
2. Being called different names by the Bolivians: Evanito, Evans. Now I don't want to be called by my regular name anymore.
3. Too many girls asked for my email. But I don't have email. So I gave out my parents. I'm a little freaked out about my parents asking questions about it.
4. I have war wounds. I hit myself with a pole while working and I got kicked in the knee playing soccer.
5. Getting to know people. It feels like we are all so close.
We should be kind and help each other. We are family. Kind of. It's what God wants us to do.
It's just been a great experience for me.
I am going to come back next year.
