This is my first mission trip. I have had the honor to go to the boys and
girls club and work with an awesome group from St Joseph. We have been hanging
out with the kids and we play with them. The kids mostly like to play basketball and
air hockey. The kids also like to jump on you and get piggy back rides. We have
had an awesome time getting to meet the people from the club and the youth
works staff. The first day of the club we got here and I was kind of scared because
I didn’t know how to approach the kids. This surprised many people because I am
a very friendly person. Once we got to know them and play with them they were very
excited because they don’t get very much attention when they're at home. There
have been fights with the kids throughout the week which has involved punching,
then once the kids get out of time out it’s like nothing has happened and they
are friends. I can see that God is with them even if they don’t want to. There have
been some older kids that have been nice and one day when we were serving
lunch we had three kids to go and this boy says thank you for volunteering.
That moment I could tell that what we were doing was actually making a
difference. This mission trip has been a very fun and exciting one and I can’t
wait to be able to go next year and make a difference in a different community and
meet new people.
