I have been on a missions trip to Ecuador in the summer of 2014 where I helped with a church camp in the jungle for kids who are less fortunate. That expreince really helped me see more of the world and helped me get out of my comfort zone. I hope to be part of more mission trips in the future if I get the opportunity.
