Matthew - day 4

I’ve had a very enjoyable time this week.  Overall, I’ve learned many skills in both construction and in building my faith.  Through God, I have realized the gifts I have been given and I have learned to use them in ways that help others.  The most memorable part of my week was probably being able to talk and play with the great-grandchild of the woman we were helping.  Before the trip, I felt uncomfortable around younger children and thought that I wasn’t very good with them, but I realized this week that my insecurity was actually a strength.  I have been truly happy all trip long, and I am very thankful for this experience.  Being able to put a smile on others’ faces is what we are all called to do, and I’m glad I was given the opportunity to do that for people who don’t have a lot to smile about.
