Mission trip this year was a little different for us this year. Usually, we go down to the border and work there. But this year we went to Arlington, TX, which is like 45 minutes away from us. We worked with Mission Arlington, which is an AWESOME organization. They have true servants hearts and a major passion for Jesus. The lady who started it 25 years ago, Tilly, told us that people ask her all the time why she hasn't written a book about what she's done. She promptly tells them there is no reason to. The book of Acts says it all.
The week was amazing
1) because of the people that worked there. They were truly inspiring. We had devos every morning lead by a guy named Matt. I took so many notes!
And 2) Because the opportunities they gave us were wonderful. One of the things we did was pass out toys to kids in apartments. It really reminded me that mission work isn't about building houses, working at soup kitchens, etc. It's just about caring for other people. Just like the quote Matt shared with us, "Missions should be one beggar telling another beggar where he got food."
The week we spent in Arlington really opened our eyes up to what we can do here in Lewisville, TX. From leading bible studies, to picking up trash while we're at a park. Our home is our mission field.
Prayer requests:
My mommy: she strained her deltoid muscle and the ligaments in her right arm. It's not doing to hot.
My friend Ashley: Earlier today I called her the girl with the beautiful feet (Isaiah 52:7). She is leaving in a few months to spend her summer in Mozambique to minister to the people there. Pray for safe travels and open hearts. :)
Praying y'all have a great week!
