«During this week, I learned a lot — not only about the different Christian cultures and traditions, but also about the true meaning of peace. Peace begins within us when we learn to listen, understand, and accept each other's differences with love. These encounters have allowed me to see how people from different nations and churches can pray, discuss, and laugh together despite their differences. It has become a living example of that peace we so often talk about, but which we sometimes struggle to live fully.

My love and interest in God have grown even stronger after this trip. I have formed wonderful friendships with people from different countries and, most importantly, I have found in you a spiritual mentor and an older friend. I still remember with emotion the days we spent together and I miss them; those moments were precious and deeply meaningful to me.»
