MCCA trip to Mexico
Today, my uncle Alan invited me to join him and his church's mission to deliver food to several orphanages in Mexico. My group had two vehicles filled with rice, beans, oil, milk, eggs, chicken, and flower and we visited seven different orphanages. There were five groups that went to 30 orphanages. We met up at 5:00a.m. on a Saturday and went past the border to a local super store to pick up the food. It was an incredibly humbling experience and I am grateful to the Mission for letting me be a part of their team. I am lucky to make such an amazing impact in our world. Here is the missions link.
