One of the things that has had the greatest impact on my life has been to go on mission trips. For the past few summers I have been unable to go and it was tough to see the team go from my church and not be leaving with them. Now that I am a teacher and have summers off, I am excited to be able to go on this year’s trip to Nicaragua. The trip is from July 18 – August 3. [Read more…] about Mission Trip To Nicaragua
