Even though the trip had some rocky patches it was overall a success for me. The church we stayed at acts as a refuge for recovering drug addicts who are homeless or in really bad situations and have found Christ. They get to live at the church as long as they help out. All of the people there seemed really sincere and all fired up about being new Christians. They all had so many questions about everything from how to pray to moral questions. The lady I stayed with told me she no longer cared to please any man except Jesus. For me, meeting the people in the church and talking with them felt like my mission. Really though, we were there to remodel the youth room. Thankfully, I took away a lot more from the trip than paint stained jeans and splinters from the wood. I got hurt while on the trip and ended up on crutches so I really couldn't help remodel the room anyways. I think it was God's way of bringing me closer to those people. They will all forever be an inspiration to me. No matter how tough it gets, Jesus is on our side. Always keep the faith!
