Travel Day

 Today was our traveling day, we took off from Grand Rapids at 12:55. It went smoothly and there were no mishaps. We got to Chicago and went off looking for some food because we were getting hangry. Looking forward to the trip I am excited to see the mountains and a change of scenery that God has blessed us with. I am also looking forward to make deeper connections with the people in youth gro
up and getting to spend time and get to know the people from youth group and church that I do not know so well. I am also looking forward to meeting new people in Alaska and hopefully getting the chance to show God's love. Something I'm nervous for is any animal attacks like a bear eating somebody or a moose running someone over. I am so thankful that I have been blessed with this opportunity to go to Alaska and spread God's love, because not many people get the chance to go to Alaska. I am also so thankful for the group of people I get to spend this week with and have fun hanging out and worshiping together. We are just about to board our next flight which will take us to Alaska, so I better stop typing and better get ready.

A Case of the Mondays

  Dear diary, we had devotions about missions and your mission to serve others. Today we had the egg bake for breakfast, it included an egg, cheese, meat mix, and bacon.   We all packed our lunches and hopped in the vans to go to our worksites. When I got there Linda, my new buddy, invited us into her house to sit and talk for a while. She showed us her antler backscratchers and her really awesome feather fans. She told us all about her son who is in San Diego. Then we went outside and she had Camille rake the lawn and Maci spray the lawn with alcohol mouthwash. She had Lyndsey and Bri feed the fire with sticks and leaves. She had me, (Jackson Henry Busscher) and Alden (Lucas) shovel rocks into a sifter to get all the leaves out. She let us take a break about every 10 minutes to talk and learn about her life (oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!) Then we had to wash the tarps and then put them back and spread the rocks back on top. Then we sat around the fire and talked for 45 minutes. Furthermo
