"I'm still just a kid learning about minimalism, and he's a master of it. It's just really such a blessing, to be able to work with him.

It's gotten to the point, in villages, where there's no hope. And the first spark of hope is when you ask yourself the question,"What gift did God give me that I can develop and use to better my life?""

And they're talking about feelings."
