I don’t think I could do another short-term mission unless it was in Sierra Leone again (since I want to continue the relationships I have built here.) The reason being that I always think of the future. So being in a short term mission you can be involved in peoples lives but you only allow a certain amount of your self to be fully immersed because you know you will be back to your “real world” in a short matter. So if you face trials “well I only have this much time left and then ill be home,” I am not saying short-term missions are a bad thing because I think they are wonderful. They have opened my eyes to realities I was blind to before going but personally I could NOT do another new short-term mission trip. If I go on another mission trip I’m going there with the mindset of being there for life. Without a pre-purchased plane ticket home.
