I decided to sign up for this trip because last year when my brother and sister came back, they had so many great stories to tell. The team was so moved by it all, and I want to have that experience too.
I want to know what it feels like to truly help someone, and be an example of God's love. When the team came back last summer I could tell that the trip meant something, and this year I want to be able to share that moment with them. I'm hoping to see God in more places than just church. I really feel like this trip will change my life, and make me look at things in a whole new way. I think that by seeing what the people have been through, it will make me become grateful for what I have instead of always asking for new things. I want to be able to just go up to people and start a conversation with them about God, and I think this trip will open my eyes and allow me to do that.
Right after I signed up for this trip, I got scared about talking to strangers and going down to a place I've never been before. But as I started going to the meetings and making it a priority to keep going, it got easier and now I'm not feeling that scared. I'm so excited to be apart of this years team, and to make a difference in people's lives, even mine.
