Twelve Days with these people have been an experince of a lifetime. I would do it all over again including the weather if I had a chance to. We all have been through alot together in just a short amount of time and some how God has allowed us to connect well as a team. I love each and every one of them , they have been apart of a major change in my life. Thank You!

Last Day Together Till Next Time!
Our last Sunday was very bittersweet at the Breakthrough Church. We participated in the Medical and Dental mission and the passing out of food bags to families in the church. The sadest part of our day was the farewell party because we all did not want to leave so soon. Even though we had 9 days here we wish we could of stayed longer. I know I made a connection with some of the youth so just thinking about leaving made me feel a little sad. I know deep down that day was not meant to say my good byes , but to say see you soon!
Luke 22:24-27 WHO REALLY IS THE GREATEST?
Through out this trip there has been many of people who have helped us get around and connect with other people. They also made sure we were comfortable and well fed. We laughed together, sung together, ate together, and most of all prayed together. They were truly like a second family to us all. As a team we felt that it was about time we cook for them and show them our appreciation. We worshipped together first then we served them our American style spaghetti.
They are the GREATEST!!!
Luke 22:24-27 :Now there was also a dispute among them,as to which of them should be considered the greatest. And He said to them, The kongs of the Gentiles exercise lordships over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called 'benefactors'.But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is the greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the ONE who serves.

Youth Retreat
Being with the youth on their retreat at the Water Camp was so fun. All of the youth never been to a water park before so they were very excited to be there. Some do not even have beds to sleep on at home so staying in the hotel with comfortable beds was a blessing to them. I was excited too because the Water Camp was beautiful and plus it gave me an opportunity to be a child again. Many of the children did not know how to swim either so they were eager to learn from those who knew how to swim from our team. We played games ,ate, and song gospel songs. We also had the chance to do devotions with the youth and just listening how they have a good understanding of the Bible is so great. I know many people in America do not have such a high commitment to the Bible as these youth do. I know majority of all my team members can agree that we all were still asleep at 6 a.m. while these youth were up doing their personal devotions.They are taught here at the church that if they do not do their devotions before breakfast they can not eat.
