hey guys, i'm 14 years old, and this week i went on my very first mission trip with my youth group. it was the most eye opening and humbling experience for me ever. while i was there, i got put to work with the children, and there was this girl there and her name is Gracie. she's 5 years old, and she is the smartest most amazing little girl ever. i had such a fast connection with her and such a strong bond with her so quickly. unfortunately, it was time for me to leave because it was my last day so i had to tell her bye. i miss her, and i love her. the kids that i served for were kids that don't have very fortunate lives. i'm worried and scared for gracie and the other kids that they are going to go home to something bad or something bad is going to happen to them. i love gracie so much and i miss her and i pray and im asking that you guys pray for gracie and the other children, and pray that they will be okay, and find joy in Christ as they continue to grow up. i am one day praying that i will see gracie again, but i am grateful and so happy that God put us together for a reason, and that we had that bond together for a purpose. ❤️ thank you!
