(work site 2) Today was the last
work day of my first ever mission trip and it could not have been more perfect.
Finally getting to work the whole day felt so good after losing so much time due
to materials not arriving. The long, hot day consisted of putting the finishing
touches on the ramp and deciding to re-build the entire deck at the last
minute. Today I was also able to talk to Midge again, but this time, she opened
up and told me more about herself and her story which she had neglected to tell
the past few days. For me, this day was the most memorable. I learned so much
about myself today which allowed me to further my relationship with God and was
able to see the final reactions of Bob and Midge when the saw the completed
ramp and deck for the first time. It was also very cool to see how all of our
hard work came together in the end and will ultimately help the couple live a
happier and safer life. My favorite part of the day was getting able to see how
a few days of hard work has the power to help someone for the rest of their
life. This mission trip has been everything and more that I had ever imagined
and I’m so happy that I was able to share this experience with my sister and
dad.
