I guess I started thinking about the possibility of a mission trip a couple months ago when the idea just sort of popped into my head. I had a few doubts,but those are pretty much all gone now..This sounds a bit cliche, but I thought of all of the people out there that hadn't heard of Jesus Christ or of any of the great things He has done, and I just realized I needed to get out there. I was planning on going on a mission trip with my church but it didn't work out.  I prayed about it and it became clear that i should still go on a mission trip. Then out of the blue my best friend( Valerie Bitterman) asked if i would want to try to find a trip to go on, and of course i said yes. So we looked up a bunch of websites and trips and thats how we found this one.
