Pastor Betson was one of most influential people on this trip. It is very difficult to express what an amazing man he is. Together he and his wife, Principal Betson, run the Unity Presbyterian Church and Primary School. God is truly reflected through their actions. They allowed us to stay in their home for the week that we were there. He was so welcoming that I actually felt more at home there than what I do at my actual home. Every time Pastor Betson saw us, he would give us a hug and say, “I love you. You are special.” Now you would think that this would get old really fast and completely lose the meaning of I love you after a few times. The surprising part is that it never did. As he embraced you in his arms you feel his love and hear his sincerity every single time. It was the greatest feeling ever. I cannot fully comprehend how he is so purely good and completely committed to God, but it is proof that it is possible. To me, he is a hero and an inspiration. He is truly happy all the time, and makes a difference in the lives of so many people. I only hope that I can be half as true as he.
Okay, so here, I want a little more "breathing." You tell me God is reflected through their actions, and I can hear what the pastor says, but I don't see enough to be convinced. Take your reader with you.
