My idea of a mission trip...

My family and I are going on a mission trip. I'll not say where or when in case thieves get any ideas (p.s. we have an alarm) but it's to a very poverty stricken location. We are trying to prepare our kids for what they will be seeing and doing, in trying to help these families that live in poverty. Again, just to demonstrate how well our kids listen to us, this is what my daughter asked after we had finished the discussion.
"So, does poverty mean when your body starts going through that weird change where your voice gets deep?"
"Sure, that's the whole point of us going out of the country, so that we can listen to all the teenage boys' voices drop a couple of octaves. I mean you sure can't find that here in the states!"

I think it's a great idea Karen. Hope it will be a real eye opener for the kids. We really don't know how good we have it here.
