I wanted to share with all of you the mission trip I went on with my church to the Mississippi Delta. This is one of the poorest regions in the US. I got to see and understand what poor was. Most people out there are farmers, they grow crops and have catfish farms. A lot of people aren't fortunate enough to make a living like that though. In certain little towns the nearest grocery store or walmart would be about 45 minutes away.. so you can imagine the cost of gas traveling just to go to the nearest store, but a lot of people had no transportation. The last day that we were there we went and gave out food to these people and they all came through the serving line and the amount of food depended on how many people you had in your household.. Well from the looks of it I don't know how these families survived on such a small amount of food..1-3 people in a household only got 1 grocery bag of food..4-6 got 2 grocery bags.. 6+ got 3 bags full.. and this one lady had 11 people in her household mainly children.. and that was not enough to feed all of them for a week.. I know beggers cant be choosers but it broke my heart to know that these people and their children probably went days without eating something, looking forward to the next week when they could get food again. Some churches there didn't have indoor plumbing, they had outhouses for church members to use, so we did a lot of construction work to some churches, and we held a few VBS' and brought children to know our Lord and Savior, and met a lot of great people and made friends while we were there. Me and 2 of my other friends on our construction team were offered to come out and duck hunt later on this year.. So im very happy and blessed about that. This was an amazing experience and a great way to do the works of our amazing God. If you or your church is planning a mission trip I strongly suggest looking into going to the Delta.. They need a lot of help there.
And a special thanks to Bo for letting us stay at his hunting lodge *Wildlife Inc.* For all of you waterfowl hunters, If you want an awesome guided duck hunt, look Bo up. He's awesome. I'm planning on duck hunting out there this year.
