SO i go to a church that is my home church, and they are going on a missions trip to vancouver over spring break and i went to the first meeting and loved it. It goes on for ten days and we are not allowed to have a cell phone so i cant contact my mom, i am 13 and when i cant fall asleep i get really stressed. and by the way we are sleeping on the floor of a place called "The Warehouse" we are going to be doing some work on the street. but im nervous do you think i would make it?
13 sure is very young, but tell me if this was a fun trip with ur friends, wud u still have all the douts in ur mind. Common u r serving the lord and he will take care of u, just as he does everyday. God knows all ur addresses as he is following u constantly. All the best dear child

If I were you I’d consider how well I know the leaders and how confident I am that they will handle the trip well overall. I don’t really like the idea that you can’t call home if you want to, but you need to decide if you are OK with that.
It is harder to sleep in a new place and if you don’t have a decent roll up mattress of some type it might be harder. When you mention working on the street do you feel there will be enough adult supervision? Do you know if you’ll be in safe areas?
But factor in how much the idea appeals to you. Even in the nicest most elegant trips traveling can be frustrating, so you have to be prepared for the ideal situation not being present at all times. If it goes well it can be very wonderful, but if it doesn’t – I’m sure you’ll live through it – but it may not be worth it.
Maybe you can ask someone what it’s like in more detail who you trust who has taken a trip with this group before?
