The Return





I have been informed with some very exciting news that I will in fact be returning to Ensenada next summer. For those of you who don't completely know my story I will try and sum it up for you. My freshman year of high school I was given the opportunity to go on a mission trip with my youth group to Ensenada, Mexico. On this trip we were going to be building a house for a family that couldn't afford their own. I loved the trip so much and was completely changed by what I saw. This made me want to help more so the next 2 summers I went back on the same trip. When it came to my 4th trip I decided I wanted to do something more and I went and interned at the ministry we went through. Now for my 5th time back I am going to be interning again! This time continuing the trend of doing a little more than the last. Last summer I interned for 6 weeks everyone told me that was a really long time and they didn't know how I could do it. Truthfully after 6 weeks though I missed friends and family I wasn't ready to go home. This summer my plan is to intern for 9 or 10 weeks wishing that I could stay longer. Though this trip is amazing and has changed my life it is not free and I need your help to get me there. My room and board will cost me about $70 a week and I will need to purchase 2 plane tickets and have some other money for some living expenses. I can not do this alone and will need all of your help. If you can not donate financially I could always use prayer as moving to Mexico without your friends and family from home can always be a bit nerve wrecking. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this! If you could do anything to help me out you can contact me either through facebook or e-mail me at qckslvr05matt@yahoo.com Thanks Again!
