spring mexico trip 2023

“God doesn’t need our help, he just lets us take part because it brings us so much joy.” - mr. letherer

what a week this was. so many special moments and so many lifelasting memories.

this trip was one that is so close to my heart. i got to grow closer with students i had never talked to. i got to watch as people grew to know more about Christ. i am so thankful for the love of these people and the love of this team.

the house build we got to be apart of was for some of the most humble people i've ever met. the community was alive. i saw friends excited to serve, grow, and learn. i had moments of clarity, and was taught so much about faithfulness in all that you do.

some quotes i noted from this week:

“faithfulness doesn’t always look normal” - wilson

“closed doors are just further clarity to God’s will for your life” - wilson

“your struggles will drive you to a spear or drive you to the cross, it’s up to you” - mr letherer

“how you pray says so much about the God you believe in” - miss b

“compassion in its purest form is walking alongside people” - wilson

this is the conclusion of my journey with wchs missions, words cant desribe how thankful i am to have been apart of this.

mr wilson showed me how to follow God's voice even if it leads me to discomfort. how practical it can be to serve and how easy it is to love people. i wouldnt be here without him and his commitment to better the lives of those around him.

miss b is the reason i fell in love with learning through all aspects of life, but most importantly, to gain a deeper understanding of Christ. her nuggets of wisdom will be with me always.

mr letherer gave me a daily example of what it looks like to rejoice in all seasons and circumstances. he welcomed me like family and inspires me more than he could ever know.

i couldnt say enough about the impact these people have had on me, and how thankful i am for their willingness to invest into the lives of some teens.

an end of something so good, but the start of something so exciting.

peace + love
