M\u00e9xico City. When I hear those two words, a few things come to my mind. First off, smog and traffic. There is an incredible amount of both in this metropolis of thirty-five million people. However, it doesn\u2019t take away from its beauty which is my second point. There is so much beauty. Art structures such as statues and \"1207301\"<\/a>buildings line the streets and there are small shops everywhere. It is definitely different from Indiana! But I think my last point trumps them all. My final point is the people living there. Going in to this, I had no idea how close I would become with the people there. One example that I will remember forever is Adrian. He is a young boy who goes to the church we served with in Mexico City. He\u2019s had a hard life and it seemed like we made a great impact. In fact, we found out that he had the greatest week of his life. It was definitely hard leaving him and our whole team parted with him in tears. It\u2019s crazy how much of an impact you can have by just doing small things like running sports camps and youth groups. That really stuck with me and it helped me learn that there are bigger things than myself.\u00a0 Another thing I learned was how to let God take control. At the end of our trip, Mr. Grass challenged us to write a phrase to direct us for 2017 and find a verse to go along with it. My phrase was \u201cIt\u2019s in His hands\u201d and my verse was Matthew 6:34 which says, \u201cTherefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.\u201d We shouldn\u2019t worry about our future because it\u2019s already in God\u2019s hands. Whether we\u2019re struggling with food from day to day like Adrian, or we\u2019re upset over a small thing in our lives, we need to go to God in those situations and ask for help and guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
