I feel like school has been so demanding this semester that I haven't really had time to hang out or just do non-school related things. Well this weekend definitely made up for those lost times.
My church typically goes to Tijuana 3-4 times a year to feed the poor, provide medical and optometry service. This past Saturday I made my first trip in almost 3 years to this one-day missions trip and I'm really glad I did. I was able to visually see how different this culture is and it definitely reminded me to be thankful for even the smallest, simplest possessions I have that I often take for granted.
In Tijuana, we brought them lunch (hot dog, chips, capri sun/water), canned foods for future use, had a couple of doctors for medical care, and a craft for the children. We made about 200 lunches which still weren't enough and since I don't eat hot dogs I gave my bag to away and others did the same.
It was a long day but I spend it with good people, serving the Lord, and sharing God's love.
If anyone is reading this, please pray for these people who not as fortunate as us.
