Goodwill Tours
I was talking to a friend of mine who spent a few months last year on the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour in Brazil.
She had never been to Brazil and spoke no Portuguese, and just a smattering of Spanish. And she had to learn really fast as the people there spoke zero English.
I would have thought it would be terrible. Lot's of poverty, bad living conditions, and not even knowing the language!
But, whenever she talks about the experience she speaks with such exhilaration it makes me wish I'd gone too!
