The beginning of the trip I was not
looking forward to the long drive we had ahead of us. Two days in a cramped van
didn’t seem like a joy ride of any kind. When we finally arrived at Montana I'm
positive everyone in the vans jumped out and started dancing around because
they were so happy we were out of the vans.
The first day we started working
was a beautiful day and I was really working forward to getting the job done.
At first I didn’t truly understand the reason why we were painting the fences
and covering the graffiti. I finally understood that we were trying to help the
town and make it cleaner in more then one way.
When we first went to the JDC the
girls and guys just kinda looked at us like we were outsiders from a different
planet if some kind. I only saw one girl who looked like God was really working
on her heart when people where telling their testimonies. I was sure when we
came back the next day that she would hopefully speak up and ask God into her
heart.
A girl was saved this day but not
the same girl that I thought would be. She was new to the group and you could
tell that God had really been pushing her to stand up and ask the big question,
“Can I be saved?” A wonderful ending to an amazing day.
This trip has really brought me closer
to God. It has made we realize just how good we have it down in Seminole. People here try to run away but can
never get far enough. Attempt suicide, drink themselves to death, and do so
many drugs it ruins their brains. I pray that God will lay a healing hand on
this town when we leave and I also pray that every last one of these people ask
God into their heart and will be promised eternal life in heaven with Jesus
Christ.
