I believe that one of the greatest challenges of the Galvez is going to be the difference of cultures and religion. I imagine that for them mudarse to Panama was difficult but not as much because Panama is a country that it shares some things with Colombia because both are Latin countries and are many Colombians in Panama which could make them feel more comfortable, but Guinea it is a totally different country where not only they must learn a new language, but also a new culture.

In addition the fact to not knowing many people can cause that at moments they feel single. And I believe that another difficulty we are to live in a culture that does not believe then in God although we created in him, likes to share with other people exceeds he and this them can be difficult.

I believe that it was very certain; obvious Peru is not Africa but it is certain that for example we often spoke more than we listened We feel that we are going to help or to solve a problem, but I liked much when Oscar says that when the people go in short-term missions, that affects them more to them that to the people who live in the place because one cannot make changes in so just a short time and that in fact it seems to me very sensible. It is a super experience and we make friendly and really I am sure that we can be example for them but we do not know which is the true reality of them no matter how hard we spend a whole month there. I believe that we must go with a listening attitude, of which they can feel that what they say is important and that we are not going to change them. Since I have commented previously, that we can go not in the bubble of “our culture” but opened to learn the culture of them. We need an attitude humility and simplicity, I believe that is more important, and mainly to go with a prepared heart to serve to God and them.
