An individual who went on missionary trip in the year of 2010 learned an abundance about herself and others. Senior Kizzy Schuler, advanced towards assisting others and showing her deep affection for God. \u201cI decided to go to Uganda, Africa with my church to help show God’s love to the African people there and learn about the African culture.\u201d Schuler felt as if she \u201cgot called to go overseas to Africa because I have always had a love for missions and I wanted to help my church\u2019s children\u2019s home there.\u201d When she was preparing for this trip she stated, \u201cI couldn’t wear shorts because in this culture, it was inappropriate to show your legs. So I had to wear pants and skirts for two weeks. I also brought a lot of toys and clothes to give to the children.\u201d Before Schuler could proceed on her missionary trip she \u201chad to get numerous shots and also had to take a malaria pill for the duration of the trip.\u201d This is so she wouldn\u2019t receive the harmful diseases and get ill due to their indisposed atmosphere. Schuler also added, \u201cIt was scary getting on the plane for a 20 hour plane ride due to the fact that I have never flown before and didn’t know what to expect.\u201d In general she wasn\u2019t as scared as most teenagers though because \u201cmy mom went too so it wasn’t too scary for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Schuler arrived in Uganda, she was expecting major differences within the culture and what the African people did. Schuler said, one major difference between Africa and the United States was \u201cIn this country, they only eat two<\/p>\n

meals a day and they are very conservative with all of their things.\u201d The major thing that challenged her while in Uganda \u201cwas it was hard adjusting to the eating schedule and the different varieties of foods.\u201d Another difference is she wasn\u2019t at home to do whatever she wanted. \u201cFor two weeks I stayed in Uganda at Grace children’s home with our church.\u201d During the period of the missionary trip Schuler \u201chelped with the Children\u2019s home, held pastor\u2019s conferences, gave away food and clothes to the African people, and cleaned the Ugandan streets.\u201d
\nAltogether Schuler said, \u201cI went on to this trip thinking that I was going to help so many people and teach them so many valuable lessons, but in the end, they taught me love and compassion and that material things won’t make you happy.\u201d She also added, \u201cI learned a lot of valuable lessons and I have a new love for the Ugandan people.\u201d Even though this trip<\/p>\n

cost a total of $3,000 it was a lifetime experience for her and the Ugandan people she made a difference for and that\u2019s what counts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
