2018 Note from Virginia-Day One

Right before going to sleep, Virginia wrote in her journal and shared it with us 

Day One 

  • 3:15 am Wake up 
  • Thankful for a ride to the airport at 4:10am Blessed by all the people who got up early to see us off at 5:30am
  • Tired, we all boarded a crowded plane, but God gave us the friendliest & most gracious flight attendant I have ever met. 
  • She was eager to hear why we were going to New Orleans. 
  • That was the first time I was hugged by a flight attendant when I departed.

  • Excited to meet up with friends and colleagues of past mission trips. 
  • Appreciative to Grace Community Church for providing our home away from home for 7 days. 
  • Nicest guy, Ryan Kling, our supervisor from ReachGlobal, who after telling us what we are going to be doing during the week, invited us to his place for a hamburger and hot dog dinner. 
  • The Lord has made the day and we rejoice in God’s goodness
