The missions trip to Mexico was one of the most life changing events in my entire life. I knew that I would love this trip, but I never knew how much it would change my life forever. I felt a sense of family, first off. Ever since I walked into the airport, there was such a sense of family, and friendship. Everyone was looking out for everyone, and thats partly, what made the group so special. I don't think there was a single person I couldn't have trusted in that group. Everyone laughed with each other, cried with each other and had an amazing time with each other. The men there, were like older brothers to the younger kids. They'd see one of us teens was struggling, and they'd make sure that we got some help. They'd see someone goofing off, and they'd make sure they'd get back on track. They were the coolest big brothers ever. Always joking around with us and laughing. And then there were those serious times, where we would just sit on the bus, and talk about things that were bugging us.. and they would always listen. Maybe put in their input everyone once and a while, but they would, mostly, wait until you were done completely before they jumped in and said something. They are one of my favourite memories of Mexico. Michael, Todd, Noah, Daniel, Magnum, Gary, and James. You guys are the best ever.
My other favourite memory where the kids. Abi, Danna, Yari, Ricea, Solie, Sada, Anna, and all the other little ones whose names I do not know. They were the cutest kids ever. After you got to know them a little bit, and were playing with them it was like you were in their hearts forever. They where always like, clinging to me.. hanging off of me, sitting on my lap, blowing me bubbles ect. One of my favourite memories of the little girls was the first clinic and worship night in entabledaro. The clinic was amazing. I had so much fun, but I never got a break at all that day! The person heading up the kids just left.. and I had no clue where at the time, so I had about.. 20 little kids to watch by my self! So I had bubbles out.. and face paints.. and colouring, and balls.. and frisbees! And things were going smoothly, I was having so much fun with all of them. Then the girl and her mom came back, and finally convinced me to take a break, I didn't want to! They were so cute! But i did.. they ended up following me anyways! I never ended up getting a break, because they were with me! I had about.. 10 all sitting around me. I ended up having to eat away from the rest of the team because no one but the team was supposed to be back in the 'break' and the pharmacy area. It was hilarious, I let one little girl have a chip, and then everyone wanted one, I had about 2 chips. and.. no cookie, they ate that too. And two sips of my juice! It was so funny! But I had so much fun.
Then in the night time, during the worship, all the little girls were playing, and not worshiping, so I grabbed one of them and got her to dance with me. And then ALL the little girls wanted to dance, and even one of the little boys!! So we made a little train and we were dancing all around in the back. We were having a blast.
I had so much fun on this trip.. and I want to go back so badly! I can't believe how fast it was over! I hope I get to go on another trip, and I'm hoping to go back to Entabledaro as well. I'm so excited for future trips! This is going to be awesome.
