Morgan’s Mission Trip – Part 2

She’s back!!! Hallelujah! We are certain she isn’t glad to be back because she had an awesome experience on her mission trip. She worked hard and laughed harder. She enjoyed every minute being out of our crazy household and didn’t mind sleeping on a tile floor for a week or showering in a trailer. What is a shower trailer, anyway!? She even managed to slip and fall and rip the curtain down, all with a smile! Which is why she received this award, because she was always greeting people warmly and with a happy cheerful spirit. That’s our girl!

Of course I stalked her every move on my Life360 app. I just felt better knowing where she was and they traveled a long way!

She learned to use tools, painted a house, built a beautiful barn door, and had a little fun floating down the river and sharing snacks with her friends.

I caught a great video on facebook of her sawing. It took me several views just to see if it was actually her! Her curly hair was throwing me off!They of course spent a lot of time in church as well.She worked in soaking wet jeans and came home with a suitcase full of smelly clothing but every minute of it was worth it. Way to go Morgan – you are officially way more awesome than the rest of us! I was so happy to see her beautiful face at 12:30am last Saturday–we couldn’t get the kids out of bed to greet her so it was just Brian and I manning the poster in the church parking lot this time. She was missed!

I spent all day Friday washing every single item in her room, hanging up clothes that were shoved in the back of the closet, and making everything perfect for her arrival. Kind of like you do right before you go to the hospital to have a baby! Nothing could be out of place! It was a glorious feeling…for that short time. Now everything is back to it’s normal teenage disarray 😉
