I never thought taking a mission trip would be a life changing experience, but I was wrong. I thought I was going there to just help people and show them the love of Christ, but in the end the people there ended up showing me just as much if not more. Even though the people of Nicaragua do not have much, they are so full of life and happiness it makes you take a step back and reevaluate your own life. Even though we may not have spoken the same language, I learned that love and compassion are able to be translated across all barriers. I am thankful that I had the support and love from family and friends that made this trip possible. Thanks to all of you, I was able to touch the hearts and eyes of so many people and at the same time strengthen relationships with friends. This trip will be a memory that I will never forget. I think everyone that has the opportunity should do a mission trip. It doesn't even have to be a foreign trip, a local one would still provide the opportunity to witness the love of Christ in other people.
