God Grew Tired Of Us Visit

I got to spend 3 days in Syracuse with John, Panther, and Daniel. I got to go to their work places on Friday. It was really interesting, seeing what they do every day, stuff you don't hear about that much. On Saturday, I went with Daniel to a fund raiser for his new organization. I learned a lot about the people in Sudan, and about all the split families. Daniel told me that it is horrible, not knowing where your family is and being tired and hungry all the time. It makes you kind of think how lucky we are to live in a first world country and having a lot of privileges. I persuaded my family to go to his website and make a donation. On sunday, they showed me around Syracuse with the other lost boys. It was really cool to see them in person and ask them questions. I spent the whole first day asking them questions like "What is it like working in America" or "What traditions do you still have from Sudan". They said that it was really hard to adapt to the jobs here for a long time, but after a while they got used to it. They also said it was kind of hard to keep all your traditions from somewhere, but they kept the big ones. When I asked them what it was like running from Sudan, they were a bit reluctant to answer, but they said it was horrible, and didn't go into detail. Overall, I think they have taught me to be grateful for all the opportunities we are given and make the most of them. I am very happy I went.
