Harry's Creek, how we doing?

Man, if I am ever in a UFC match, that's going to be my intro music.

That goes hard.

Have you guys, like, have you ever traveled somewhere as a foreigner where you had to understand

like the rules of engagement?

Like you knew you're going to a place and there are some

cultural differences to where you're going. You have to learn about those. And so as we do

mission trips, like international trips here at Harris Creek, those are really, we're doing

more and more. And so this year alone, we've been to the Dominican Republic, to India, to Thailand.

We're getting ready to go back to the Dominican Republic.

And so as those trips increase, we always have a training to say, hey, this is what you need to know when you get there

so that you understand the different culture that you're going to live in for that week or two weeks

or however long you're there.

And I can remember when this

happened for me. I went on staff at a church and then shortly after there, we were going to the

country of Rwanda to train the government and pastors on conflict and reconciliation. And as we

go to this training, we're going to be teaching outside. And I'm thinking, hey, what do I need to wear? And they say, well, it's really casual, and it was super hot there. So I was like, okay, cool, casual. Say, yeah, we can be casual as we're teaching. But whatever you do, don't wear shorts. And I'm thinking, oh, that's, you know, why? And I I could dress them up, can go khaki. I mean, I understand not umbrose or like, you know, basketball shorts, but I could do, you know, I can break out the cargo shorts. Like, don't wear shorts. Well, why is that? Well, because in this culture, no men over the age of 10 wear shorts. And so they, they won't listen. They'll be distracted. They won't

respect you as you're teaching them. Okay. All right. So you're kind of like what else. Well,

shortly after teaching, right, then we go to lunch. And at lunch, you know, I'm, you know,

Southern hospitality. I'm like, okay, ladies, you guys, you go first, you know,

we'll wait, we'll wait on you, ladies first, you know, and everybody's looking at me weird.

Like, okay, ladies, so hey, we can't eat till you do, and I'm hungry, so you guys go,
