Did you have fun? Did you have a good time? This is the most frequently asked question of me since we returned almost two weeks ago from Guatemala. And I find myself increasingly frustrated trying to find an answer. There is not one word that seems to really convey all that we experienced.
Members of our team were challenged at the end of each day to think about one word that would help them remember what they had experienced. One word. They could write in in their daily journal pack or they could write it on the "word wall" that we kept for the week. Something to encompass the day. But to have one word for the entire week is a bigger challenge. These are just a few that come to mind - in no particular order:
Heart-wrenching
Compelling
Powerful
Exhausting
Exhilarating
Uplifting
Joyous
Bumpy
Nauseating
Convicting
Motivating
Enlightening
Delightful
Challenging
But even these seem inadequate. Guess I will keep searching.
