Welp, here we go. Here it is. The post about England.
For those who don’t know: on August 1st, I left on a mission trip to
England with a small group—two other people—from the church I’ve been
attending in Mississippi. I first heard about the trip at a church
service when it was advertised on a PowerPoint slide. “Mission trip to
England,” it said.
Immediately I thought, “whoa, how cool! How awesome would that be? To get to go to England, and on a mission trip?”
My good friend Rachel, who invited me to the church in the first place,
noticed my interest and asked if I wanted to go to the initial meeting
for the trip.
So we went, both of us, to the meeting, and I was further interested in going. The only problem? Money. The trip cost over $1000 in total, not including the possibility of going to London for an extra day. As an unemployed college student, I didn’t think I’d be able to come up with that kind of money.
So while I thought the trip sounded awesome, and I knew it would be a good experience for me, I resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t be able to go this year. However, maybe I could save up enough money to go the following summer.
