It was a nice start to a cold winter morning just when I got out of bed, I knew that this missions trip was going to be amazing but I did not know that it would change my life forever. It all started after my sister came back from a missions trip from Mexico, that I got the burning desire inside to go and help out and maybe even one day become a missionary.

Mission Trip Its summer 14 and I’m about to go to West Virginia on a mission trip called ASP. I’ve been waiting to go on this trip since I was 8 years old, and now I’m finally old enough. Everybody at my church who goes talks about the fin times fixing houses, how the hard work makes them feel like they’re on top of the world. They talk about the bonds that they built that would last forever, so of course I was excited for the trip. It was only a week long, I think to myself. How can so something

Narrative During the summer of 2016, my trip to Pemba, Mozambique in Africa changed my life drastically. Not only changed my life because I was on a mission trip, but changed my life looking at through the eyes of race. While I was there I would listen to great speakers, go on outreaches to other villages, pray for people, hangout with other missionaries, and hangout with the kids on the base and just have a good time. While the time hanging out with the native kids there on the base, I would get

A Trip to Lake Michigan This year my family and some friends decided to do something different than our traditional beach vacation. We didn’t want to make the long trip down to Florida to go to the beach for a few days and then have to make the 2-day journey home. So what did we do? We decided to try out the northern beaches of the United States. Moratorium week, just after the fourth of July holiday, was really the only time that the families could get away without having a basketball practice

all over the place, bags around my shoulders, excited to tell my mom about my trip. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. So much excitement, thrill, and determination out of almost everyone on the trip. This is one trip that I will never forget because of the laughs with friends and the surprise storm on our last night. Going into my 8th grade year, my youth group started the first annual canoeing trip for middle schoolers. My youth leader, Chuck, wanted to do something fun with

Throughout my life I have done many amazing things. When asked to my “best moment” was, I didn’t have to think long before I came up with my trip on the Teton Wagon Train in Wyoming. The trip was simply amazing, we spent a whole week outside in the mountains. During this trip I rode a horse for the first time. This was, by far my favorite part of the whole trip. The wagon train was one of the best things I have ever done. I loved it for many reasons. We were outside in the mountains for a whole week

We drove for two hours to go to the lake we were halfway to the lake, and get out of the van everyone thought that the car was going to catch on fire but before we returned to the van, we had to wait a for about 30 minutes.

Colorado Brotherly Bash It was a nice, warm July morning in Shawnee, Kansas when the Turpin and Burner families started their trip to Colorado. After a long stressful night of packing and getting ready for a six-hour long car ride the journey began. There was not much need for entertainment since everyone was so tired from the long night of suffering and misery. My brother and I started fighting even in the car ride to Colorado because we just couldn 't wait that long without engaging in some

people experience these events that cause a dramatic switch in the path of their life. I had one of these life changing events at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on a trip to Washington D.C. when I was in 6th grade. It was a crisp spring day in our nation’s capital. There was a slight breeze, just enough to tousle one’s hair. On our trip we were not lucky enough to catch the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom, as we were about 2 weeks late. The nation’s capital is a place rich with history; you

I searched Google for travel attractions for my upcoming road trip. My mouse made a soft clattering as I scroll down the screen viewing the black beaches beside the Mediterranean ships and the hidden caves inside tropical jungles, the green so vivid that it caused me to nearly fall into the screen itself. One image

I’ve been waiting for this trip with my scouting group for over a month now, planning meals, setting up tenting arrangements, and gathering supplies. San Jacinto peak, one of four Saint mountains in California with an elevation of over 10,000 feet. I arrive at the camp ranger station listening to the long and required safety lecture: stay on the trail, watch out for endemic wildlife, leave no trace, etc… As my foot hit the

twice through the Nurses’ Stations glass he made a dangerous situation that should and was reprehensible. Lastly, with McMurphy’s indiscretions, Nurse Ratched had to make the safe decision by turning the other patient's opinions against McMurphy’s trip. The ultimate message was to portray that sometimes with the mentally ill there are right times when harsh, strict, and orderly rules enforced by someone who is strong is a good
