There are certain things that simply bring a group of people together. For my team (with whom I am going to Rwanda with) good food, laughter, and coffee are some of the things that bring us together. Every Wednesday night we meet at my leaders' home. We settle down in their lush couches, get comfortable, have a cup of coffee and share our lives with each other. It's great. I look forward to seeing those ivory colored mugs on the coffee table and then pouring out steaming hot coffee into such. I feel like coffee is just one of those things that can easily bring up conversation. And if you're lucky it can go on for hours-like the Europeans.
But all that to say, I love my team and the wonderful people that they are. We are finding more and more our unity in our diversity, all over coffee.
