My Travel Story

by: Sydney Del Rosario Start Date: Jan 23, 2020 - End Date: Mar 5, 2020
Every two years, my campus ministry, Bama Wesley, goes on a mission trip during Spring Break. Two years ago, I left the United States for the first time with 5 other people on our team to Costa Rica. God used me in enormous ways that week. I grew closer to Him and those around me. I got to use my gift of speaking Spanish there, making people smile. I introduced one of the chefs at the non-profit organization where we volunteered to one of my favorite Christian singers from Mexico. She played her songs as we washed the dishes. We sang along and talked about how we love to praise the Lord for who He is. I translated what my pastor prayed during communion for two ladies who came to partake in communion and get to know us. That week in Costa Rica was one that I hope to never forget. It was so special. 
 This Spring, I am going to Orlando, Florida, with my team. After living in Spain for four months, I am excited to see what the Lord will do in the United States. This will be my fourth mission trip. The first two times were in New York City and Atlanta, Georgia. In both instances, I saw God's glory in the people around me and the opportunities that He put in front of me. Though I was nervous, I grabbed hold of those opportunites like they were one million dollars. The cool thing about this is that I was in the United States when I had the most exciting moments of interpreting Spanish for the Lord. I don't have to cross the ocean to share the gospel and the reckless love of God. I have opportunites wherever I go.
 I tell you all this so you can understand how excited I am about going to Orlando in March. We are going to be helping with restoration of houses that were damaged from the hurricane. Plus, we are going to Disney World on the last day, so that'll be cool. 
 Thank you so much for reading SUPER long essay. I would really appreciate it if you could donate at least $10. I'm hoping to earn $650 in total (including other fundraising) by March 7. Thank you so much!
