Misions Trip Day 5

Today was just an amazing day...woke up, had a light breakfast, had devos with the team, then headed out to a japanese buffet....sooooooo bomb. Then headed to the church and just chilled till dinner then VBS. VBS was just amazing..whenever I see the kids and them smile and laugh, it just brightens my day. After VBS, we came home, tired, fatigued and drained...debriefed with the team...then the youths gathered for just a sharing...it was really encouraging and uplifting...to think God brought us strangers together and in the short amount of time we've been together...we've bonded...developed new friendships...and really developed a trust where we can have open and deep conversation with each other and share our personal thoughts. We shared with the other youths and prayed for each other, just things that were on our hearts and things that were really stopping us from giving God our all. Afterwards, headed back to the room with my friend and he randomly just opened up to me and we just had a long conversation about God, faith and being open about your faith, another friend joined us and it was just a really stimulating, encouraging and eye opening conversation...we really helped to support, encourage and lift up our brother who was struggling...we prayed for each other and it was just a great time. Afterwards, our other roommate came back and we just had more conversation, genuine conversation...it's crazy to think God put together random strangers with different personalities and different strengths in faith and allowed us to bond and really be there for one another...this trip...as much as we've been helping the church...it really allowed us to give help and receive help as well...from our fellow brothers and sisters...but yeah, not much else to say, I'm just so thankful and happy right now. Praise be to God.
