Wow as some people know this trip was really different and difficult.
One of the main things I learned was on a missions trip you need to be absolutely flexible yet obedient with the main goal to serve God in the way he has set before you.

When the trip started off we were told we were going hold a Vacation Bible School for John Gundens' church we started to learn the songs and prepare for V.B.S. but God's plans for us quickly changed.

After a few practices we were informed that the church had a roller skating rink that they wanted to paint and make it look good to draw people in especially teens and in the middle of the night stop the music turn the lights on and have a time were the kids would hear a message and basically use the rink as an outreach.
Pretty much all of us thought it was a good idea and were learning skits that we could go to the park or nursing home and the rink to perform. When we got there we found out the condition of the rink it was a lot of work but not as bad as it could be.

But then we ended up with yet another change we found out not only were we painting all day but they also planned for us to run it at night. I myself did feel overwhelmed at first but I thought of my favorite bible verse. This verse I've thought of a lot the first time I heard it I became my favorite and I heard it at SMASH it's Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength".

Thinking about my favorite verse gave me a new point of view and I didn't think of how big the project was I just thought of God and what my mission was. At smash we also learned that God gave everyone different abilities and wants us to go and use them so my mission whether I chose to accept it or not (which I personally did) was to serve god my best by using the abilities he set'before me.
