Two More Weeks in Costa Rica

If you haven’t heard by now, I am co-leading a group of people through Adventures in Missions called Passport. We have been in Costa Rica for about two weeks, and we have about another two weeks to go. This has been an amazing experience for me to grow personally. I have always struggled with viewing myself as a leader. Being more on the quiet side, I have felt like I don’t have the “right personality” to be a leader.
