Because of Covid my senior year mission trip was cancelled. When
the discussion of this mission trip came up, I was excited because I felt like I
could finally get my senior year mission trip that I lost. As time went on and
the everyone started to prepare for this trip, I started getting second
thoughts and anxious. Even though I was getting my senior year mission trip I am
no longer a senior. I thought to myself, I am married and 20 years old now. A
lot has changed since senior year of high school. The one thing that kept me
feeling okay about this trip was the fact that my mom was going with me. So if
anything goes wrong or if I need someone to talk to I have her to turn to. Knowing
that my mom would be on this trip with my made me feel prepared.
Right
before the trip my family and I went on a cruise and on that cruise my mom got
both Covid and cellulitis. Because of those two unexpected things combined Sara
and her decided that she should not come on the trip and stay home. Leaving me
back to square one feeling unprepared. But because I don’t like to deal with my
emotions and feelings I told them to go away packed my bags and got in a car to
start driving to Denver.
I do
miss having my mom on this trip with me it has been surprisingly great. I have
been able to reconnect with the group and have not lost my temper. Although it
is early in the trip I can feel that it will be a good trip with lots of connection
and growth. Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! I need
them lol.
I wish I could have gone. Had our last trip together
ReplyDeleteOh goodness last minute changes make me nervous too!! You are a seasoned veteran and although it would have been great to have this time with your mom, like you said maybe it’s giving a chance to bond and reconnect with people! We know you definitely can help show others how to have a good time!! Keep up the good work! 😀 Julie t
