Day 2 was full of adventure and new experiences. We started off our morning by attending a bible study at 9am and then headed to church at 10:30 am. After church, we had the opportunity to help set up for Mornings with Mommy's event. We were delighted to see the community coming together to support this wonderful program for moms and their children. We then had lunch at the church before embarking on our journey to St. Augustine.

  Day 1 started off at 1:20pm when our group of four met up at school to begin our adventure. We were accompanied by a chaperone and made our way to the airport in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

Finally, we arrived in Jacksonville around 10:45pm and were greeted by our pastor who warmly welcomed us to the Sunshine State. Our pastor then took us to our respective host family's homes where we would be staying for the duration of the trip.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the trip has in store for us as we embark on this journey to serve and make a difference in the lives of others.
