This morning we woke up at 9:30 and left the church at 10 to travel to Minneapolis. We took the light rail to downtown Minneapolis where we had a delicious lunch. After our meal, we took another light rail all the way to the famous Mall of America. Our first adventure was at Sea Life where we learned all different types of facts about all marine life. After sea life, we went up to the Minnesota shops and bought our youth leader a shirt to show our appreciation towards her. When we were done on the very top floor, we went down to get delicious frozen yogurt. While two of the youth and one of the leaders wanted to continue shopping, the rest of us kids and Kelsey went down to ride a roller coaster in the Nickelodeon Universe. After the thrill of the ride, we left the mall and went to Pizza Lucé for a very filling dinner where we talked about our day. We saw God in all different, but very unique ways. Some of our sightings consisted of when many people were asking and talking about our thrivent shirts or when people were holding the door open for us with welcoming smiles. I was personally changed today by seeing how thankful i should i cherish my life or to cherish special moments and seeing how beautiful the world is when you put down your cellular device.

July 14th 2017 – MN Mission Trip

 

This morning we met at 5:30am to drive at 6am to the church in which we will sleep tonight and tomorrow night. We passed through 4 states. Sydney and Abby kept count of the different license plates we saw, totaling up to 34. Our God sightings were when we saw the beautiful landscapes and sunset in Wisconsin and the towering mountains in Ohio and Illinois. We stopped once in each state to use the restroom and get more food. We also saw God when numerous people came up to us and asked us about the mission trip and where we were going. We also met a service dog in Ohio named Maverick with baby blue crystal eyes that made our day better.
