This weekend summed up in one word is "Wow". You may or may not know that I am planning on going on a mission trip over Spring Break. It will be in Juarez, Mexico where I will serve and minister to the poor, and live like the poor (which means we have to use outhouses, I only get two showers during the week, and we get simple food... but I guess that part of it won't be an adjustment after college). I talked Kacy into going as well, so we decided to do a fund raiser at our church, where we would ask people to help us to get to our goal, which was $350 per person or $700. After procrastinating to the last weekend of the semester, we decided to do it. The amazing thing was that we raised $748 in the first mass alone. We could have stopped there but we decided to hit the other three masses to raise extra money for the other people going on the trip, and for the people down in Mexico. In the end, we raised about $2300 in all four masses. That’s right... $2300! I honestly could not believe how generous people are to a good cause. Even if there isn't God, the people that church brings together are truly amazing, and I consider it an amazing blessing. God is real. God is amazing. Thank you God.
