It was a nice start to a cold winter morning just when I got out of bed, I knew that this missions trip was going to be amazing but I did not know that it would change my life forever. It all started after my sister came back from a missions trip from Mexico, that I got the burning desire inside to go and help out and maybe even one day become a missionary. Once she was home though she told me all these wonderful stories of how she had helped out people with things like fix broken houses, paint the

Andros was truly a unique experience on the trip. The scenery was fascinating, as was

One thing that I really want to do is go on a mission trip. My sister went on a mission trip and loved it so much that now it has inspired me to do one too! Halle and I would like to do one together preferably in or around South America but wherever would still be amazing! We are looking for a group to join to go with on our trip, we found a couple but don't quite know which one would be the best for us. I really want to do it soon so we might find a small one in the US to do this or next summer

Mission Trip Its summer 14 and I’m about to go to West Virginia on a mission trip called ASP. I’ve been waiting to go on this trip since I was 8 years old, and now I’m finally old enough. Everybody at my church who goes talks about the fin times fixing houses, how the hard work makes them feel like they’re on top of the world. They talk about the bonds that they built that would last forever, so of course I was excited for the trip. It was only a week long, I think to myself. How can so something

Learning Reflection I was not originally going to go on this mission’s trip and had less then a week’s notice. My sister was supposed to go, but due to some unfortunate circumstances was not able to go. While I wish that my sister could have gone, I am glad that I was given this unique opportunity. I am not sure what I was expecting when I went on this trip, but I certainly was not expecting what happened. During this incredible trip, three churches combined into one outreach group as we journeyed to

cruise to the Bahamas. We stayed in Florida for a day and then got onto the ship for a week long cruise. We went to two Bahamian islands called Nassau and Cococay. Then we went to Key West Florida. It was absolutely beautiful and my favorite part of the trip was going to beaches. I really want to go back to the Bahamas. Those are a few of my bigger travelling experiences

Narrative During the summer of 2016, my trip to Pemba, Mozambique in Africa changed my life drastically. Not only changed my life because I was on a mission trip, but changed my life looking at through the eyes of race. While I was there I would listen to great speakers, go on outreaches to other villages, pray for people, hangout with other missionaries, and hangout with the kids on the base and just have a good time. While the time hanging out with the native kids there on the base, I would get

A Trip to Lake Michigan This year my family and some friends decided to do something different than our traditional beach vacation. We didn’t want to make the long trip down to Florida to go to the beach for a few days and then have to make the 2-day journey home. So what did we do? We decided to try out the northern beaches of the United States. Moratorium week, just after the fourth of July holiday, was really the only time that the families could get away without having a basketball practice

In my life ive had lots of memorable events , but the most unforgettable one was my graduation trip to Cancun Mexico. when I first found out I was going to this trip I thought it would be so easy as in just get up and go, but no this trip took tons of planing, the most important part of this trip was getting my passport that took about five weeks to arrive, once I received my passport then I was able to start booking my flight, that's when the excitement started,then I booked my hotel. I took care

all over the place, bags around my shoulders, excited to tell my mom about my trip. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. So much excitement, thrill, and determination out of almost everyone on the trip. This is one trip that I will never forget because of the laughs with friends and the surprise storm on our last night. Going into my 8th grade year, my youth group started the first annual canoeing trip for middle schoolers. My youth leader, Chuck, wanted to do something fun with

Throughout my life I have done many amazing things. When asked to my “best moment” was, I didn’t have to think long before I came up with my trip on the Teton Wagon Train in Wyoming. The trip was simply amazing, we spent a whole week outside in the mountains. During this trip I rode a horse for the first time. This was, by far my favorite part of the whole trip. The wagon train was one of the best things I have ever done. I loved it for many reasons. We were outside in the mountains for a whole week

I will never forget the time When I was at camp this summer I went on the waterboarding trip to lake joe, cassidy. We drove for two hours to go to the lake we were halfway to the lake, and get out of the van everyone thought that the car was going to catch on fire but before we returned to the van, we had to wait a for about 30 minutes. We all went back in the van which still smelled terrible. After a while which felt like forever the smell finally went a way. We made it to the boat ramp but

us in the pathfinder clubs. It would take place in one of the routes of the Appalachian Trail. All of us had been excited and deprived of all patience, in anticipation for this event. There were many reasons why we all wanted to head out to this trip, but the major one was that, we would be able to leave our pesky little siblings home. The reason being that this would be an overnight hike, it would take various hours, and since it was only for the pathfinders club that meant everyone would be

She went to both France and Italy on a ten day group trip that her French teacher organized. This was an action packed trip in which the group was going sightseeing almost the entire time. Some of the major attractions they visited in France include the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Versailles, Nice on the French Rivera, and Monaco. Everything

people experience these events that cause a dramatic switch in the path of their life. I had one of these life changing events at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on a trip to Washington D.C. when I was in 6th grade. It was a crisp spring day in our nation’s capital. There was a slight breeze, just enough to tousle one’s hair. On our trip we were not lucky enough to catch the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom, as we were about 2 weeks late. The nation’s capital is a place rich with history; you

Colorado Brotherly Bash It was a nice, warm July morning in Shawnee, Kansas when the Turpin and Burner families started their trip to Colorado. After a long stressful night of packing and getting ready for a six-hour long car ride the journey began. There was not much need for entertainment since everyone was so tired from the long night of suffering and misery. My brother and I started fighting even in the car ride to Colorado because we just couldn 't wait that long without engaging in some

your twelve mile hike in the Grand Canyon , you think to yourself that after all of the hard work you put in to reach your goal of coming on this trip, has finally payed off.

I have never gone out of Califirnia and now that I have this opportunity of going to a beautiful place called The Grand Canyon. Also this process

seemed like forever. It had been three years since I had decided to go electronic free, of course with the exception of a flip phone so that I could call in case anything had gone wrong. I searched Google for travel attractions for my upcoming road trip. My mouse made a soft clattering as I scroll down the screen viewing the black beaches beside the Mediterranean ships and the hidden caves inside tropical jungles, the green so vivid that it caused me to nearly fall into the screen itself. One image

Saturday morning, awake at 5:30. Packed bag ready to go. Elevation: 1,207. I’ve been waiting for this trip with my scouting group for over a month now, planning meals, setting up tenting arrangements, and gathering supplies. San Jacinto peak, one of four Saint mountains in California with an elevation of over 10,000 feet. I arrive at the camp ranger station listening to the long and required safety lecture: stay on the trail, watch out for endemic wildlife, leave no trace, etc… As my foot hit the
