Summer
Mission Trips
Spreadin' the Love
by Kavita Padia
“If you give a little and love the kids even though they’re dirty
and messy, you’ll see the face of Christ in their faces.” Many people
realized this when they go on Mission Trips with their churches. Did
you spread God’s Word this summer? Seniors Kristy Guertin and Mandra
Riddle did by going on Mission’s Trips with their Churches.
Guertin went with her church, Church of the Chimes, to El Reno De
Los Ninos in Mexico where she helped out at an orphanage. There they
did manual labor like wall painting and sand sifting. She also did
VBS and outreach in local towns. Guertin claimed that she had a great
time. “I learned to be grateful for all the blessings I have and to
love others.”
Riddle also went with her youth group to En Senada in Mexico. There
they stayed on a Ranch where they did manual labor like building,
working on roofs, etc. In the afternoons played with kids whose parents
worked in fields all day. On the last day, Riddle and her youth group
did a Hip-Hop routine to a song by Staci Orico that the kids absolutely
enjoyed. Riddle became very attached to the kids. On the last day,
she broke down and cried.

Thou?

type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms
Devastate Gulf Coast
Two monster storms, aptly called 100 year storms, savaged the Gulf
Coast last month. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita swept in from the waters
of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.
