		<description><![CDATA[Kyle LePere of Fastforward.tv has come on over 10 trips with us over the years and has used his skills with video to document his church&#8217;s trips.  I love this one because it really encompasses every aspect of an Amor trip &#8211; families, houses, laughing, building, friends, realizations about God and life. Awesome video, Kyle!]]></description>
