the crazy beautiful life of the pattersons: Adventures at the Mishion House!

Recently, Lily Grace and I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Savannah Georgia with our church. (Love all my CC peeps :) Since i was taking her and my best friend Lindsey was taking her girls we got to stay in the Mission or "Mishion" (what we affectionately call it. Hey! that's how it was spelled on the key chain ;) house. Long story short, the mishion house was about 100 years old with window units in every room that sounded like a train was coming through the house every time they came on and one channel on the television (that may or may not pick up, and basically depended on which way Lindsey was moving the antenna.) We Loved it. Lily Grace still begs to go back on a daily basis and says "that old mishion house was waaaaaayyyy better than our new house." Go Figure. Unfortunately, i didn't even take a picture of it, but i did take a picture of this......

This is Maria

This is her House

Maria's one year old sister sleeping in her parents bed. She has no crib.

Everyday we went in to the "Azalea" Trailer Park and sang, danced, played games and presented the gospel to an average of 30 kids. It was a million degrees (okay...it was 115, with the heat index) but we pressed through until 12:00 PM when we loaded back up and headed to the mishion to rest up for round two at 3:00 PM.

It was Amazing

Life Changing.

Check out the sweat on these cheeks!

When the week was over, four kids had made decisions for Christ, and our lives were forever changed. Maria's family had two new bathrooms and she had her very own room! To God be the Glory Great things HE has done!
