My Missions Trip Experience

For a first missions trip this trip was AMAZING!! God was certainly present on this trip. One thing God did in my life was open my eyes to see that I was trying to control things. I had never noticed it before but I need to let go and let God. I finally fully committed to giving everything to God. He's a big boy he can handle it. We are just human after all and trying to control and fix all of life's problems weighs a huge burden for us to carry when we don't have to. Jesus died on the cross for us so why not take advantage of all the perks that come with it? Not only did God have spiritual purposes for this trip but it was a great bonding experience. I got a lot closer to people I normally don't even talk to. It was a beyond fun trip. One night Corinne and I were suprised to discover our host family driving us to the mall food court to go to Tip Top. For those of you that don't know (we didn't) Tip Top is a fast food resturaunt chain in Nigaragua. So good!! You don't realize how happy we were to see the grease glistening off the fried chicken; finally food we're used to! I also got to ride on a motorcycle driven bye Kenton no less! That was a fun and new experience. Overally, it was a great experience and I would definately do it again!
