Truly Lifechanging Experience

This experience was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I was able to create lifelong relationships, make unforgettable memories, and have overall growth mentally and spiritually. Meeting everyone in the Dominican, I didn't know what to expect but there couldn't have been a better mix of people that brought so much to the table. I only wish that I had more time there because it had come to feel like home. Every class, person, and mission site we experienced left a lasting impact on my life. I learned a lot of Spanish which I knew would be a little out of my comfort zone, but then I was asked to lead worship at my church in Spanish which was an incredible experience! To see the growth of me leading worship in English when I went to the DR three years previous, to now leading worship in Spanish was truly special. This experience affirmed me in my calling to missions and has set me up to potentially return for an internship and trips in the future. I will forever cherish the people I met and the memories I made, thanking God for this indescribable experience.
