a week in the life

well this past week i was on a mission trip to Mexico. i wasn't sure what to expect what i was going to do, or even what i was going to eat. so i went in to this mission trip being nervous and so finally when it came the day to leave i was outside looking around at everyone who was going to see who i would most likely spend most my time with so i figured i would hangout with Brooke, matt, chewy, and curren. Not knowing that when i would get to know everyone and not even have not to think about that. so we starsted to head up to mexico and in my van was Ty, kaitlynn, heather, matt, curren, nakieta, mikaela, zac, josh, joe, and paul. I knew some of the people and got to know the rest of them on the way up....we were having fun laughing at pauls "fun facts and serious facts" ( if only you could have heard them) so once we crossed the boarder we stopped to eat at a Mc Donalds and then we had to change a lot of things about us we couldn't have the water, ice and from that moment on purell hand sanitizer became like a best friend. the moment i stepped out of the van i saw a stray dog and i knew that it was going to be hard for me to not cry because i have a passionate love for animals and seeing animals in those conditions is very deppressing to me but anyways we headed for the orphanage again and when we got there we unloaded and went to bed. we stayed in a room with ten sets of bunkbeds and all the beds were full so once we got through the frist night we got into a patern of worship and chapel int the morning then work on projects and eat lunch then we would play with the kids untill dinner when we would hangout and fellowship as we worshipped and had another chappel. we did several outreaches. giving salvation bracelets out to anyone and everyone and we gave food to families. but the outreached that seemed to help most of all was our fiesta. plenty of families came and matt gave a message that was translated to them and curren gave a message in spanish. they seemed to enjoy it and it was a great time to see those in need and serve them. but now that it is all over i will have to say that it is awkward to spend a week with the people who went and then go back to where you see them about once a week...so i can't wait for revival 07' and how that will change my life as well....

p.s. i already miss all of you who went to the mission trip :(
