“It is really hard for me to get out of my comfort zone.”

“We had a one bedroom, one bathroom, one closet apartment with four girls.”

“I was looking for someone to formulate a skin care line I could use.”

“Being here, it is just impossible to imagine what that was like, when the tsunami hit.”

“There was no language barrier when it came to kids, and when it came to play.”

“I can't hear anything, John. Please, would you put on your headphones?”

“When we distributed the paper and crayons, they were fighting over the blue crayon. Everyone wanted to start with the blue, and that was the water. One drawing shows the trees under water. I was really moved.”

“One of the cries from the people was, don't forget us. They have a long road ahead of them. Operation Blessing has found those little fishing towns. They will not be getting what other towns are getting from the government.”
