I spent last week on a mission trip to a deaf school in Jamaica, and it was incredible! My youth group and I helped with work around campus while the kids were in school and then played with the kids afterwards. It was so cool to talk (well, sign) with the kids and play with them. I also grew a lot closer with my youth group. 3 days before leaving for the trip a childhood friend of mine (who I hand't talked to in probably 5 years), from when I lived in Florida back in elementary school, passed away in a car accident, so I was (and am) pretty shaken up and not my normal self, but I couldn't have asked for a better or more supportive group. they all helped me and made me take the time I needed to myself. Last week was just absolutely incredible and went way better that I could've expected or hoped for.
Ok, now that I've finished rambling about last week, here's my goals for this week:
This week is insanely busy, but I want to continue strengthening the relationships with my youth group from our trip, I want to continue to move forward through the pain of losing a friend, and I want to have a ton of fun when my family goes to a nearby amusement park Saturday (as in, I don't want to think about anything else that day, whatever it may be). As for writing, I just want to finish a short story I've been working on
