This trip has been one of my best experiences. I have learned that we all are very similar. It doesn't matter if you are from Spain for the USA or if you speak English or Spanish. I have known a lot of people and they all have been so so nice to me. I am very grateful for that. You have helped me when I didn't know how to say a sentence and have made me feel like I am at home.
On this trip I have felt so good helping people. It has made me think about all that I have (a house, a family, a school, food when I want it) and how I don't realize how lucky I am. I have seen people who can't buy food because they didn't have the money and how they smiled at you when you gave them food. It is something that I'll never forget.
I want to thank everyone who made this trip possible. This trip gave me a beautiful opportunity to help people.

Mission Sunday November 8th
This Sunday November 8th is Mission Sunday!
The youth group will be sitting up front together as many of the youth groupers participate in the service by talking about their experiences in DC. Over the next several weeks we will feature the stories from mission trips past and why these trips are so important to the teens who participate in them.
We will be giving out bags of cookies as a thank you to the congregation after church.
Mission trips make a huge difference in the lives of the people we serve and in the lives of the teens and adults doing the serving. We are taking Gods love and delivering it directly to people in need. By traveling for our trips we allow the teens to bond in a new way, and we show the people we help that they are worth traveling for!
