My Trip/ Blog 8

     This Easter Break I flew down to Nicaragua with my missions team from school.  During this trip we worked with kids in an orphanage and two schools.  We also helped with cement work and ministered to the community.  My highlight of the trip was working with the cement workers and then playing volleyball with them every day after work.  It was cool to build relationships with them through both working and playing.  During their youth group it was awesome to worship along side my peers from another country.  I was inspired by their love of God in such tough conditions and poverty.  I pray that God will help me build faith like these people of Nicaragua. 
    When I came back, school seemed so bland and boring.  It felt like I would never be able to go back to normal.  Actually I don't want to go back to normal, I want to be different then the Roger I was before the trip.   I can't wait for next year's trip and what it will have in store.
