Hey guys! This weekend I got to go to Arlington, TX for a mission trip and it was such an amazing experience! God really spoke to me in so many ways. It is unbelievable how many people are in need JUST in our country.
The first day we worked it rained literally the ENTIRE day and it was cold so just seeing people around me working through that without complaining was SO encouraging. I was placed in a group that went to apartment complexes and passed out bread. People would donate bread as we gave it out and it was really cool seeing how people reacted to people bringing them bread. Some wouldn’t accept the bread but others were so excited and THOSE people were the ones that made the trip worth it.
The next day was really special because it was Sunday. My group got to go to an apartment church which is just church held in an apartment. When I got to the apartment I had to go around and knock on doors inviting people to church. The majority of the people there only spoke Spanish so it was really really cool when we sang praises to God in English and Spanish. It just made me realize that even though we may not speak the same language were still praising the same God. Which was super awesome. Then, after we went there we went to another apartment complex and held a bible study but I noticed the kids there weren’t as social as the ones at the other apartments. So I got the group together and we played Red Rover to lure the kids in to come to bible study. It worked. So that was really cool. Around 4 we returned to the main building and had our worship. I am so used to the traditional style of worship so when I walked into a tiny room and people were praying I was kinda shocked at first. Then it dawned on me why they were doing this. They were preparing their hearts for worship. It was SUCH a growing experience to be able to go to that kind of worship service.
Today we sorted toys into boxes for a Christmas store for families who can’t afford toys for their kids. It was a lot of fun and very tiring.
I am actually really sad to be leaving. When I came on this trip I didn’t know anyone. But everyone was so welcoming and sweet and one of the main things this tip has taught me is that I need to be more open about my faith. If you ever get the opportunity to go on a mission trip I highly suggest you do.

I’ve been obsessed with food this entire week! I can’t explain why but I just am.
List of things I want at the moment:
1.) King Cake - Been craving this for over a week now
2.) Cheesecake - Which is my desert tonight
3.) Pizza Rolls - My dinner tonight
4.) Gummy Bears - Cutest snack ever!
5.) Taco Bell - Best fast food EVER (I don’t care what it’s made out of)
See what I mean? Obsession. Oh well if I end up having a heart attack one day at least I’ll be happy.
Another thing I’ve been doing this week is painting my nails different colors.
Monday was Sea Green
Tuesday was Metallic blue
Wednesday was Platinum
Thursday was Purple
And tomorrow will be every color I own!
Anyways, the pizza rolls are done so it’s time for me to go eat and watch Finding Nemo. Remember “Fish are friends, not food.” Foooooddddd. =)
