This week at Mission First has been truly amazing! When I first decided to come to Fuge, I was originally going to go to Centrifuge. Two days before I left, my youth minister asked if I wanted to do Mission Fuge instead. I, without a doubt, accepted the offer. I felt like God told me to go for it and I did. When I had to pick which group I wanted to work with, I knew children would be it. I have always had a passion for working with children, and I was so blessed to finally have a chance to do so. I went into this week not really knowing what to expect from the group of children I would be working with, but Nick (our leader) explained it all so well that I was beyond excited!

This week changed my life. I feel like God put me here to tell me I need to pursue missions work with children. The look on their faces when we arrive each day is priceless. They did not know us personally, but they knew who we were. The look up to us in so many ways, and knowing that just gives me this spiritual high that is the best feeling in the world.

God has really shown me this week how truly blessed I really am. Also he has taught me to have lots of patience when working with children. I was a little worried at first that the kids wouldn't like me, but the moment they stepped in the room everything was so natural. As I leave this week, I pray these children will continue to grow spiritually. I will without a doubt look into doing missions in my hometown to work with children! Thank you Mission First for letting me experience love like this!
