The Short-Term Volunteers That We’ve Touched

“I’ve been blessed, trips like this help me appreciate what ahs been given to me.  I just want to pass on whatever I can to help others.  What you do for others, you do for Him.  Thank you.”
-Jesse Sandoval, San Antonio, Texas

“Serving a mission was a beautiful experience.  While serving others the Lord served me spiritually.  This experience will forever remain in my heart.”
- Chanel Ashley, San Antonio, Texas

“I have just completed three trips to Mexico with Mi Casa and have enjoyed being a part of a team whose purpose is to serve others.  Completing the much needed projects and just being with the children has been a pleasurable experience.  I plan to go on these trips as long as I can.”
- Alicia Lopez Martinez, Carrizo Springs, Texas

“Everyone is humble and extremely hospitable.  There is a self fulfilling satisfying feeling that is indescribable when you complete all of your projects.    Donating your time for a good cause humbles you.  You can appreciate the little things in life a bit more.  And of course the food was delicious.”
- Gonzalo Gonzalez, San Antonio, Texas

“What a great experience and opportunity to share our blessings!  The home does wonderful things for the community; it is good that they got something back.  Great group!  Great talents.  What a bunch of wonderful missioners!”
- Homer Saenz, San Antonio, Texas

“I love to come on these mission trips for many reasons: satisfaction from completing many projects in one week, interacting with the children, and meeting and working with wonderful people.”
- Patricia Ponce, San Antonio, Texas

“As always words are not enough to describe my experience on this trip.  The work is exhausting but exhaustion doesn’t set in until after the work is done and we are home.  Hearing the children’s laughter reminded me [of] why I continue to do these trips.  The joy you see in [their] eyes as they see a project completed at what is their home makes all the work even more satisfying.”
- Delia Rodriguez, San Antonio, Texas

“It was a pleasure to see the mission sites and meet the directors, as well as see the children “in action”.  I feel privileged to have met and worked alongside such a great group of people who showed selflessness and loving kindness.  Thanks for a great trip!”
- Anonymous

“I have been on ten or more trips and all of them are different.  I give thanks to God that I have been able to do something for those that are in need.  I think I will continue doing this while God allows me.  I hope that someone else will do the same.”
- Effie Williams, San Antonio, Texas

“Looking back on the week I cannot think of a better way to experience the culture of Mexico than a mission trip.”
- Mark Gabby, Urbana, Illinois
