OK, after staring at this screen for a few minutes with a blank mind on how to start this, I am just going to give up on being subtle. Today was my first day ever on any kind of mission trip, and let me say that going in to this with not many expectations probably prepared me more than going with them. This morning we held a mini VBS in a church near where we are staying (which by the way, is amazing, it’s beautiful), the VBS was very fun. To hear all the laughs and smiles on children’s made the morning worth it. But Wes also shared the Gospel after we put on a little skit of the ‘lost sheep’. As great as the smiles and laughter are, the main reason we are here is not to make people ‘happy’ with candy or toys, but to share the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, which through Him is the only was we can be truly happy. After we put on the VBS, we went to a school and helped feed them lunch and again shared the Gospel and put on the skit of the ‘lost sheep’. I was the lost sheep, when I get back if you would like I can show you my mischievous ‘baa’. Just kidding. We then went to a hospital, which broke my heart. To see all the children whether they were sick or just injured or if they had been that way since birth, it really made me grateful of everything we have back home. I prayed over a girl named “Elizabeth”, which was a blessing to me. We then visited a children’s home for a little while and interacted with the kids there. All the little girls are so sweet, I just want to take them home with me. We have a church service tonight, where I will be sharing my testimony. Please continue to keep the whole trip in your prayers.
