Nope! Everyone is pushed out of their comfort zone and then lives in close proximity to other people for several days. Sometimes the person that is making us crazy is actually showing us something about ourselves that we’d rather not see. Other times, our exhaustion and discomfort makes it hard to be fully present. To stick with Jesus’ metaphor of weeds and wheat from the parable, we can’t always tell in the moment if something is a weed or wheat. Mission trips are just a great place to do some intentional sorting.
