So, this has been one of the messiest, unorganized, go with the flow, emotional trips so far. Yet, it is all of that, that makes this such a fun and self growing experience. Today, and well most of the week, we've been dealing with environmental issues. What seems like trivial work to us is in fact some of the most important things we can do to make our community better. What we've been doing this week is putting our small contribution into a bigger purpose and goal.
I'm so impressed with how all of the leaders put this work together in such a short amount of time. I'm even more impressed with how we all, youth AND adults, stuck with our commitment through every twist and turn.
Thanks to everyone who contributed money and references for us to contact to put this trip together. I think everyone can agree it's been a bit of a wild ride, but looking back on the week it was well worth sticking through it, and carrying out this spontaneous mission trip.

What a great message, thanks, Gabby. I've talked with a number of participants and have read your postings, and I'm so struck by the ways in which you honored the commitments that you made and how you carried out our church's charge -- to carry the message of Christ's love out into the greater world. Obviously, it wasn't a part of the world that you expected, but what a blessing you were to the places you touched!
