Moving our site halfway through the week was not something I would have asked for. When we made progress on Chiquita's house, we developed a personal connection to that home and its story. Although I didn't want to leave that home, this trip isn't about me or my wants. We needed to move to a place where we could help the most and that's what we ended up doing. It is hard to step outside of your comfort zone, and it is hard to put others' needs in front of your own, but being flexible and willing to do what is asked of you is so crucial to service. I mean, if it were easy, we wouldn't need volunteers in the first place!
