My First Mission Trip

Last night I flew in from the Dominican Republic after a week long mission trip.  Early last week I was nervous and anxious about what was to come.  Was I ready? Had I forgotten something? Maybe I didn't pray enough before leaving, maybe I shouldn't be going, maybe God doesn't want me to go.  All of these thoughts were clouding my mind until we arrived.

Our team the night we arrived.

I would sit here and write about it if I could, but words wouldn't do it justice.  Here's a few pictures from a friend.  More are to come...

We held a 3 day soccer camp in the mornings.

We hosted a 3 day vacation bible school in the afternoons.
(Story of Peter walking on water)

She wore her heels to soccer camp and was beautiful!

We made lion masks after doing skit about Daniel and the lion.

She came from a nearby neighborhood for VBS and
didn't leave my side!

I shared my testimony at a church service Sunday night.
Romano translated it into Creole for the congregation.

I played Esther in a skit.
That woman had COURAGE
(our theme for the week).

This trip was life changing in so many ways.  I had two people in different instances tell me that they'd never seen me so alive as I was on this trip.  I can truly say that I will be back in the Dominican Republic sooner or later!
