i try to think of all the good things in my life, and all the things that i have, and then i can feel thankful. and i love that feeling. of being thankful. and being blessed with so many different thigns in my life. you’d be amazed at what we take for granted. and even if we say oh yeah, running water it’s great! honsetly, do you thnik it’s that great. going to mexico for me, opened my eyes to how priveliged we are, and how much we have. we can hear about God just anbout anyhwere, if we really wanted to. but down there. you have to travel to find a church. and it hurts to know that people don’t have our kind of access to bible studies and pastors. and idk. just re-evalutate your life and see how much you have, becuase if you really take the time, you’ll be amazed. i loved going to mexico not only for helping and showing others the love of god, but the experience and emotions that i got from it. if you ever have a chance to do soemthing like. DO. because it’s a once in a life feeling when you hand the family the keys and see their faces. theres no amount of words that could explain their expressions.

yeah i believe it! i’ve heard many a testimony from people who went to mexico and someday i’d love to do that but my goal is for something else. ive just been so drawn to it. i plan on going to china for 6 weeks and befriending some kids there. we will essentally(sp) bacome their mentors. for those of you who dont know..it’s illigal to believe in God in china. people have to have secret meetings in their home for church and because of all of this…there are very few Christians. so when that gaurds and adults arnt around we will take the chance to talk with them about God and really show them his love by spending time with them and really caring for them. i really cant wait and its just for me because there is a lot of theater involved and literally, clowning around!”laugh”!!
