One of my mission team members was a dentist, and she provided free dental extractions to people in the region. I volunteered to help clean dental equipment and to assist the dentist.

Surprisingly, these unpleasant, hot, humid, and smelly days have been

This spring break I went on a mission trip to Florida. I went with James, Marcus, Dave, Ladarius, Xavion, and Joe. We went to paint a homeless shelter for people that doesn't have the stuff they need in Palm City. The homeless shelter was called Lahia. For the first day we were preparing paint and cleaning for the first day. Me and Ladarius had stayed back at our church to paper, sand cabinets while they prep. Every day we would work outside in 90 degree weather so it was hard to stay focused
