This trip has been life changing. Though I made many new friends, I felt the Holy Spirit come to me. I’ve never had anything like the feeling I had experienced. Through relationships, experiences, fun times, and many more, I have realized what truly matters in life. I finally noticed how lucky and grateful I should be for everything that I have. Seeing how bad it can get, has inspired me to help others. Going into this trip, I didn’t know what was in it for me. I felt a calling to do something like a mission trip, so I went for it. I’m so happy it was in God’s plan for me, because it completely changed my life. I hope in the future I will continue my work, and hopefully have the opportunity to do something like this again. In addition, I experienced  so much joy and peace. A feeling so comfortable, and I just felt so loved by everyone I encountered. I appreciate everyone who took the time to join us, and can’t wait for another experience like this.

With love,
