Personal Narrative: My Special Mission Trip

5 years ago i was sitting in my kitchen listening to my parents talk about what my sister was going to be that they on her mission trip. Everyone on the mission trip had know idea where they were going or what they were doing. My parents and the leaders on the trip knew where they were going but the kids didn't. I was so jealous that she got to go on it and i knew that i wanted to do that someday. Well two summers ago I was invited to go on this mystery mission trip just like the one my sister went on. My answer was a definite yes because i have wanted to do this for a long time and now here was my opportunity. It felt like forever before we had to pack and drive to the high school to get on the RVs. I was kind of excited and nervous at the same time because we didn't know where we were were going. All that we knew is that we would be gone for seven days and we weren't leaving the country. Another reason i was nervous is because i didn't know some of the people going on the trip with us. There was people from chillicothe and one person from delavin. And after looking back on it now i shouldn't have been scared because i did not know what what was going to happen next. …show more content…
I grabbed a donut and then looked over at the parking lot to see two RVs and a white van unloading with these people with the same Route 3 mission trip shirts on. I was so confused until i saw Eric potter. Eric was in charge of eureka campus life when my sister was in high school until he switched over to leading city life (peoria's campus life). Everyone who came off that bus was going to be going on a trip with me for 7 days. I was really nervous now because when i was scared of meeting new people i had no idea this was coming. we left from the rest stop and i was on the RV with a bunch of strangers and my sisters boyfriend. But now these guys are some of my really good friends
