Missions trip debriefing part 1

This past summer, as many of you may know, I participated in the short term missions trip to Hilbre, Manitoba. It was an awesome experience, to know that God is in control when you let him, and that there is a specific plan for each and every person on this planet, is somewhat comforting.
