Reflections on Serving - Scott

I had a wonderful time in Colima. My biggest takeaway is how apparently contented and happy the people are. Both folks we met on the street or in a shop, and of course the kids and staff of the orphanage were kind, easygoing, funny and patient. Even with my inability to coherently speak Spanish, communication was always effective, if not always easy or efficient! Thank God for Google – “Spanish word for ______.” This was particularly useful when at Home Depot trying to get just the right fitting for plumbing...

As for the heat, Utahans just need to learn to embrace the humidity, just like we have on the east coast! :) [See Sam's Reflections on Serving for a Utah kid's struggles with humidity]

All in all a lovely trip, filled with good memories and great food! Only one thing I still don’t understand: Why are car seats not required and a dozen people of all ages drive down the highway in the back of a pickup truck, yet helmets are required for motorcycles???
