Our big learning happened at lunch, when we would eat with some of the clients at picnic tables behind the men’s shelter. We then went to bed, hopefully ready for what the next day would bring. We stayed up until the rest of the team arrived, because the mission trip doesn’t really start until we’re all there. We cooked dinner, ate together, and cleaned up. We swam in the Bush River, paddled kayaks, and took a ride on a speedboat. We had planned some group building games, but the group began building itself. Three more youth and two more adults were to arrive later that evening.

Five youth and three adults arrived at the Brasels' river house last Sunday around mid-afternoon.

Interestingly enough our mission trip began with play.

I consider mission trips to be one of the best spiritual teachers for how to live life.
