Sometimes we make excuses for not praying, like for example, "I don't know what to say", but Mr. King reminded us today in chapel that Jesus was the one who taught us how to pray. After he announced the birthdays, we all participated in reciting the Lord's Prayer, something I believe we all need to be reminded of once in a while.
Mrs. Kathy Kennel showed us pictures of her family's time in Honduras. Extended service trips can be great experiences that involve both both positive and negative points. Mrs. Kennel told us of the fear for her family and herself. She made many sacrifices including her own independence. Her family didn't have a car, there were many cultural differences that were hard to adjust to, and she became homesick a few times. Though there were many difficulties, the reward was greater. She served God by teaching children in Honduras, an experience I'm sure she'll never forget. She also realized how special the student-teacher relationships are here at Christoper Dock. Service trips definitely have many benefits and are worth considering.
