When I first found out my youth group was going to do a mission trip to Washington, D.C. I was incredibly excited. Although the bus ride was long and the weather was warm, it was all worth it for the things we experienced that week.
It felt so good to help those in need and see the results of our hard work in the faces of others. At times, what we were doing was hard, but it was easier knowing that God was with us every step of the way, and that really made me feel closer to him.
I loved staying at the church because the food was delicious, the leaders were great, and we were able to have fun while loving and worshiping God. It was so good getting to meet new people from other places and getting to know other people better. I made tons of new friends and grew closer to old ones.
I also met some amazing people while serving, people I will never see again but don’t plan on forgetting.
This trip was amazing. It truly changed me and my perspective on life for the better, and I watched it change others too.If you are thinking about going on a mission trip, stop thinking and do it, because the outcome is worth everything.
God is great, spread his love.
