Mission Trip Weather destruction hits hard some places more then others around the world. In Alpena where I live we rarely have any kind of major weather damage.

The most unforgettable voyage in my life thus far‚ is a weeklong mission trip that I took with my church youth group. This is a very memorable time for me for two reasons imparticularly.

This mission trip took place during the beginning of the summer after my sophmore year in high school. My church youth

21st January 2010 Art Trip To The National Gallery This year’s Art trip was really not that inspirational to me‚ as it was rushed and we only had about 2 hours and 15 minutes in the National Gallery‚ which was not enough time to explore the gallery or to find our favourite piece of Art.

It was my first camping trip with my dad‚ his family‚ and my sister. We began our trip to the Florida Keys talking about all the exciting things we were planning on doing during our three-day stay. Our plan was to arrive early‚ set up our tent and get settled. We would then familiarize ourselves with the

I was on my way to church with a few of my best friends‚ a typical Wednesday for me‚ at least‚ that’s what I thought. As I was laughing at a joke someone had made‚ my youth minister called. He asked if I would like to go on a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. Just like any other teenager‚ I jumped at the chance to go somewhere new‚ especially New Orleans. Therefore‚ I told my youth minister that I would love to go and to let me know the dates so I could take a week or so off work. I was so
