Personal Narrative: My Mission Trip To Panama City Beach

Decent Essays
During Spring break I went to Panama City Beach on a mission trip. We did many things in the community including going door to door and going to schools to do yard work. On Wednesday we were assigned a simple task that turned into an all day job.
We went to the church at 9 A.M. to clean the windows inside and out. Once we finished we were about to leave when we heard a loud BANG from the church kitchen. My entire group ran to make sure the cook was okay and that she didn’t hurt herself. It turned out that she was trying to move the unassembled shelves so get to some of her cooking supplies.
Mrs. Patti Loan, our group leader who is always willing to lend a helping hand, thought that we could stay and put up the shelves and also organize the

    Service is something that is near and dear to my heart, and this trip was no exception. My FYS group and I went to a local non for profit Atlas (Attaining Truth, Love, And Self-control) to do projects they needed done. This organization works with troubled people who need a mentor or a shoulder to lean on. Because they are a non for profit and are very busy, the people on pay roll didn’t have the time to do yard work or extra jobs around the building.…

This was my first time ever going to Florida and I was really excited to go. But one of us had to stay home and take care of our pets, so my dad stayed home to take care of them. It took about half a day for us to get ready to go and like 4 or 5 hours until we were out of Michigan. My brothers and I would stay up all night to see how cool the city looked at night.…

    My parents raised me to be aware of my surroundings, to always be of service to those who ask, but most importantly to be of service without being asked. Being raised this way made me a spontaneous volunteer, and though I have participated in organized volunteering, much of the volunteer work I do is doing things such as making snowmen one minute and the next minute shoveling a neighbor’s driveway for fun. Another time, a man came down our street collecting bottles for money, and after finding out that he came every Tuesday, I networked with the neighbors and assembled all of theirs as well for him to pick up. As for more formal volunteer work, I have often worked with various conferences, church events, family camps, the community in which…
