Missionary

June - July 2018 • Azua, Azua Province

What I liked

I liked serving those around me. We helped kids learn how to do basic tasks that they are not able to learn on their own due to the lack of resources in the mountains. I loved seeing how those who really have nothing, will drop anything to make you feel welcomed. We came to the mountains expecting to be the ones serving, yet the wonderful citizens of this poor mountain served us too and I could not be more grateful for their love.

What I wish was different

I wish I would've had a different perspective coming in. My life was very busy when I left for the trip, so I kind of in a way just wanted to "get it over with" in a way. I had already gone on this mission trip 3 times before, so as a veteran I was not expecting anything too new. Yet I was surprised by how the Lord provided!

Advice

Always be open to the possibilities life has to offer. Although sometimes we should say no, we must say yes to some things. This trip was wonderful and I pray that others have the chance to serve in third world countries!
