Olivia's reflection

This year’s mission trip to Wimauma, Florida was my second mission trip experience. Last year I had my first mission trip experience at Beth-El in Wimauma, Florida. This year’s trip to Beth-El Farmworker Ministry was a very meaningful experience for me. This year our group was able to do projects like cleaning out an attic, doing dry-wall, handing out food at a weekly food pantry, restocking bags of food for the food pantry, and washing vans. Our group was also able to attend a Tuesday night service at Beth-El. The service that we attended was special because it was in Spanish so the pastor had to help translate for us. During the service there was a time were the members of the congregation were invited to stand and ask for God’s help with things like their attitudes and health problems. At the end of the week it was amazing to look around and see how much work we had accomplished in just a few days. After hearing about how hard people have to work in terrible conditions for us to get the produce that we can easily access in grocery stores, I am now more thankful for all of the fruits and vegetables that I see in the grocery store. This year’s mission trip was an amazing experience that has let me grow closer to God through helping people and witnessing His work in Beth-El Farmworker Ministry.
