I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I’m not sure if I was excited or scared that I was finally going to be able to do everything my brother and I have dreamed about since we were about six years old. Stepping onto the plane to Mexico very difficult seeing that I haven’t been out of my house for about two years. The plane ride was only about eights hours long and I was asleep the whole time. When we landed in Puerto Penasco, the sun was stars where reflecting beautifully above
SNORKELING ADVENTURE Hannah verretta One day I went on a trip to mexico and it was my second last day in mexico so my dad thought he would do something fun. So that morning I woke up and my dad walked in my hotel room with a pamphlet and asked me how about this one , he handed me a pamphlet that had that said SNORKEL ADVENTURE!!!! I said ‘’what is it ,’’ he said’’ it is a snorkeling trip in the ocean’’ so I asked him’’ is there any sharks???? ‘’ My dad said’’ no’’ so I said
clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us. The journey began, the first state we rode through was Alabama, I couldn’t see much since it was night time. All I could see was the clear night sky. No stars were shining that night. The only lights
Mexico. A glorious get away with a beach and a wonderful hotel. Wait, hold on. Tijuana, Mexico. Drugs, poverty, and rough living. Not a trip most people would want to take. Summer of 2016 some teens and adults prepared for a Missions trip to Tijuana Mexico, me being a part of this group. We were going through a group called Amor Ministries, and would be building a house for a needy family. Our first meeting we sat in the youth group center of First Christian Church and introduced ourselves. Not many
I was able to go to Mexico last spring break to go build houses for some misfortunate people. While I was there I got to build relationships, play with kids, and also experience a reality check for how good I have it back at home. My church offers a trip every year to Mexico; to go build homes for people. The church partners with any organization called Amor Missions; which they give us the name of the family we build the houses for and also supply us with the materials and instructions to build
When I was in middle school a distant family member had passed away in mexico. Although I personally was not close to this person, my grandmother was. Once she heard the news she told my mother to get ready to take a trip to mexico to visit and be with her family. That same night my mother packed our bags and off we went. Little did I know that this trip would change my life forever. After being in Mexico for about three days, 2 for mourning and one for the burial, we packed our things and headed
asked to go on a trip to Mexico to help people not in the same economic state as me, was terrifying. I didn’t want to go to a place I didn’t know, I didn't want to be with people who I didn't know well, and I definitely didn’t want to go on a plane! All of the “no’s” pulled into my head as my parents tried to convince me to go on a trip that would “change my life.” I made excuse after excuse while we sat there talking, and finally the courage clicked, and I would soon be off on a trip of a lifetime

June 17,2014 it was a day when I went to Mexico. That morning I went to the airport of savannah. My plane was at 7:30, I left my house at 5:45 to go to the airport with my family. I got in a red truck, inside the truck had leather seats, black carpets, three seats in the front, and three seats in the back. My uncle was driving, my dad was in the passenger seat, and my mom was in the back with me and my brother Justin. My aunt was driving in her own car. Her car is a van, the color of the van is tan
When I was younger, we would go to Mexico every year. My Grandpa would always give us a bag of our favorite candy. The day when we would leave to go to Mexico, I would stay up late and look at the beautiful view of every city we went through. I would sleep so late that it would make me think that we would be in Mexico already. The city that I really like was Oklahoma City, when I saw all the tall buildings. When we were driving we went under the highway bridges, and I always thought that it would
