The tenth grade mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico is one to remember. Not only was it an eye-opening experience for me but also one that made me more aware of how blessed I am to live the way I live. I loved getting to know the people there as well as meeting other people from other church groups. Working on the sites was so much fun and definately a good learning experience. Being there with the church definately gave me a new drive to help people in need. I would go back in a second!
