It has been three months since my return from the Land of Smiles, I have forgotten a lot I have to admit. I have lost track of many things that I repeatedly told my brain “hold onto this.” I wanted to pack every sight and feeling that I experienced into a box and live in it even when I was …
by Brianna Rowe Mission Adventures started on Friday evening, and we now have our second group of students from Colorado. It’s insanely busy, and wonderful, and tiring. It consists of our group of five leading teenagers in short term missions where we give short teachings and then give them opportunities to go into Madison and practice what they’ve learned. We …

This is a place without electricity or running water, but all of us just loved it. We were welcomed very warmly by the hosting church there. We were struck by …
It can be good or bad. It lasts forever. We were created for it: Relationship! Today, we helped run a youth retreat for teens in the barrio on that topic. We came up with most of the schedule and the lesson plans. We saw some familiar faces from our VBS and soccer games. We played games, taught, and shared lessons …
Today was our first day with the VBS and Bible distribution. On our way down the hill back to the church, we called out at the different houses that we were having a VBS for kids 4-8 years old.
