Ok, I think I've returned comments to everyone's sites.... If I left you out, forgive me!
There's just so much that I could say about the mission trip and so little time and finger muscles, so I'll try to keep this short.
First of all, it was an amazing trip, and I have to say that I've never been more at ease and at home with a group of people that I had never met before (more to come on that later...). Well, we went to a really small town in Kansas (pop. 1,000) to do a VBS program with a church there. We actually had a pretty good turn out of kids, considering that it was a town of that size. Several people shared stories of some kids that seemed affected by the gospel being presented, and we're still praying for God to work in their hearts as He wills.
I was in the nursery with one of my best friends (amazing story of how we became friends, I might share that later), and we had 1-3 babies in there. It went well in there, and I think for two 17 year old non-mothers we did excellent. 
One thing I have to say though, in conclusion, I have never been with another group of people, escpecially teenagers, that was so concerned with how their actions represented Christ. It was amazing how well they could have fun and still have hearts directed toward the gospel. They were an encouragement and a breath of fresh air to me. 
Ok, pictures!!!

All of us! Except for Christy, she volunteered to take the pictures. This is in front of a house built in 1881 on a ranch. It was neat.

Guy that we saw in Wal-Mart in Kansas and we just HAD to have a pictures with him. Note: I am 5 feet tall, as are the woman and girl beside me. I forgot how tall he was, but goodness was it TALL. The funny thing was, there were a LOT of tall people in Wal-Mart....weird 

The girls! l. to r., Kylene, Me, Samantha, Sara, and Tonna

Hahaha, Aaron and Sara. They look so funny, I love this pic!

The three of us! I like this picture too, and Aaron and Sara look good, but I look a little crazy faced there. 

Me and Sara! We look so cute
