This past summer my church went on a mission trip to
Townsend, Montana. This trip taught me so many different things and some of the
learning experience started before we even made it there. When I was asked to
go of course I said yes. I knew it was going to be a lot of money and it was
going to be hard to convince my mom to let me go but I knew it could be done.
The next morning the lady in charge of the trip at church called me and told me
they got a ticket for me and it was not refundable or exchangeable. Sounds
great, except for the fact that I still hadn’t talked to my mom about it who I
knew would not want me going and now I had this ticket that I was going to have
to pay for even if I didn’t go. I instantly started sending prayers up. I asked
God to soften her heart and to realize what a great opportunity that it was for
me and how much it would help other people. When I finally asked her about
going it was a dead set no. I continued to pray asking God for anything that
could help change her mind. The next day when my mom came home from work she
told me that she had decided I could go. She told me that while at work she met
a preacher. She told him the story of me wanting to go and she expressed to him
how she was afraid something would happen to me while I was gone and she
wouldn’t be able to get to me. The preacher gave her his card and told my mom
that if something happened he would get her to me. My lesson in this was faith.
I learned that amazing things happen when we have faith in God and anything is
possible. I was able to go on this trip because of the things He did!
