I'm here, posting again. In order to update you with what's been going on in my life, it would take an hour or two, and it would be a really long post. Therefore I will just tell you a little about my mission trip.
It's honestly changed me a lot, it came at a time when my faith was failing and I wasn't sure what exactly I believed. It was great, because everyday we would have mass before the groups when out and did their services, and it really helped me open my eyes, and heart to God. There were probably three people that really helped me through the week, who I talked to almost everyday and got to know Really Well. Mainly though, they were there for me, which is more then I can say for most of my friends back home/here. Another thing that helped, I'd say 3 of the 5 weekdays down there we met with our youth groups, now mine may be small(only 4 people total) but it was nice to share my faith with them. I also found it ironic, the fact that we were the smallest group there and usually one of the last ones talking.
Throughout the week I realized just how blessed my life is. The first person my group helped was a woman named, Helen, she was 92 years old but looked far younger, and after we were done cleaning up her house we just sat and talked with her, and we talked about everything from her Cotton Pickin' with her grandma and how they got a dollar a day for 200 bowls(or whatever they're called), to her family and late husband.
I shall stop here to keep the suspense building, and then I'll just have one longer post later this week hopefully. Pictures will also be coming. I just refuse to download them, because that means that the trip is actually over! =[
