So to say everything in shorter words, this spring break was by far the best spring break I've ever had! Some of the things we did, in shorter stories, are: First day, we unloaded the "Fill That Truck" truck. Second day, we went on a 45 acre land and picked up debri from last year's tornado. Third day, we went to a house and gardened and pulled weeds and all of that, for the women and husband, Jacqui and Jonathan and their kids' house, Jacqui is the person who prepares our mission team's meals, SUPER SWEET FAMILY! Fourth day, we went to this ladies house and picked up debri and did land scaping.
All these days were my favorite day I can't really say I had a "most favorite" day out of this week.
But one of my favorite parts of this week, that I am going to share with you is this.
Jacqui and her family really touched my heart, their story is, very much, an amazing story. She had some family difficulties before she was married, which got in the way of them getting married. But it didn't stop them they fought and fought til they could be together. But it wasn't the wedding that they really expected. She told me a last night that she and Jonathan have always wanted to re-do their vows. Right then, I started to think, "What if we could give them the wedding they always wanted to re-do?"
Let me just say, if you think planning a wedding in a couple of hours is impossible, it's not! I talked to some of the leaders and they loved the idea, and we went through with it today! But it was super duper hard! Because today, one was our last day, two was our VBS day, three it's really just hard getting everything ready in a couple of hours for a wedding! But with the help of the team, and the grace of God, we did it! It was something so special that I can't even express the words of how happy I was / am.
Thinking back on this week I am very glad I did it! I am blessed to have been with the people I was with, like I said the people I met impacted me in a way, again, I can't describe.
The Bible verse that basically summons up all this week is: Matthew 19:26
– "… With God all things are possible."
