I’ve never experienced jet lag before and let me tell you for those who haven’t….become close with those who you’re traveling with and understand that you WILL bark some type of attitude/sleep deprived sentence towards them at some point. Then, you’ll sit back and realize, “well shoot, that was mean…” As I sit here on the plane from London to Johannesburg, I’ve begun to realize that my body is incompatible without sleep – although – it’s functioning, in what way I have NO clue. I figured I would tune into my...

Never Leaving

Guatemala

Every person that I have met who has been to Guatemala warned me that I would never want to leave. I figured at the book end of two weeks, I would disagree. As we wrap up our time in San Pedro however, I already feel homesick for this beautiful place. The moments that I have experienced here are sure to stay with me forever. San Pedro is such an awe inspiring town that no amount of staring at pictures could have prepared me for. Each building is unique and absolutely bursting with color. My team jokes that I’m so surprised because I’m Canadian and all I see is fresh white...

Antonio is a long-time...

DR

It has been a little over a week now since I said my goodbyes in Philadelphia, headed to Georgia, and then left the States for the Dominican Republic. The week brought on new memories and new experiences that I will hold onto forever. A few months back I had not even heard of Adventures In Missions. Going to the Dominican Republic was not even a thought to cross my mind until a dear friend asked me if I would be up to going to the Dominican with her. I immediately said yes and started filling out the application. My friend ended up not being able to go, but by that point I had already...

The Peru team is doing great! They have been building a church and doing ministry daily. They have also had the chance to spend sometime on the Amazon. Their ability to check in has been spotty but they will continue to check in at least once a week.
