I could taste methane. I felt the weight of decay in the air." "Now, more than 10,000 people live around the dump, many of them born here as second or third generation scavengers." "People are not defined by how and where they live, but rather by how they were created by God." Laura, you find yourself yet again in another Holy place...I don't know how you keep doing it, but you have a gift in your ability to bring the reader along holding our hand.. as a guide would for an uncertain traveler. Cant wait to see the rest of this story. “..the sanctity of the place was already compromised by the unholy smell. I could taste methane. I felt the weight of decay in the air.”

You will want to say the same thing when you are in South Africa this summer... "And I don’t think we’re necessarily called to just “bring light” but to recognize and encourage the light that already exists in people the world has rejected."

One of our church mission teams went to Potter's House last year. So striking - the difference of life for us sitting at home on our 'puters and those sifting through disposed stuff for a living!
