Over the Past 4 years fo my life i have gone on some small mission trips. And i want to share some of my experiences.
My Missions expericens seem pretty small comapired to what maybe what you have seem the only places i ahve been in tecate, mexico( 2007) . Ensenada, MExico 2008, and Four corners AZ ( Navajo Reservation) 2004- 2006. Most of my pics on my page are from my mexico mission trips. I guess things that have really changed my life are even just going to those places.
With AZ we would help the elderly NAtives with their houses and anything they needed help with and after going back for three years through us going and helping them they got connected to the church thats down there and accepted Christ.
Tecate Mexcio, we did a kid camp (VBS) in the middle of this Super pooor neighborhood and touching the kids lives was so cool. Soemthing me and my friends experienced was ( the short verson of this is ) at 8 : 30 or so 2 nights B4 We leave the pastor of the church we stayed at said the a little boy from the congregation, with a spine disease died and there parents couldn't pay for a proper funeral so our group donated money and we raised over enough. the next thing we know we our invited to there house for a mourning goodbye for the little boy. we walk in the small house and cram about 30 of us into the front room and the little boy in this small casket in the front room! our youth group leader prays for the family and we decide to sing a song but we are all a bunch of white rich kids who don't know spanish. but bec of the VBS we all learned JEsus Loves me in Spanish so we all sing that. everyone is crying by now and people are remembering loved ones who does and its just a crying fest when we get to the church which is down the street one of our good friends is missing. so so there is 6 of us who are super close start crying and we are super scared for him and we are worried we are all in a huddle standing in the corner we cried for 3 1/2 hours straight. till our friends came back at about a little after mid night. and its was just a cool experiences. it all brought us close together. and IDK is was weird but its was God. that was really long But believe me that was the short version. Sorry if you got lost.
Ensenada mexico, was This spring break, and if you go to my website which is posted on my page and click mexico 2008 video its the coolest thing ever ( i have a black shirt on and a striped skirt on. i am also the girl who is singing london Bridges falling down with all the little girls.) but soemthing that touched everyone who went on the trip with us is how close we got to the kids this year. we were all Bawling when we left the kids at the end of the day. we all had a special friends ( my main pic is me and my little girl. Bernecia) ONe of my best friends he got really close to this little girl and seeing him say goodbye to her made your heart break.
What are some super cool expericens you have had? i would love you hear them.
