[incognitopolls]

Mission trips are meant as a way to help others, yet historically religious missions are a form of colonization and violent cultural oppression—and can be still today! mission trips are a common part of the experience growing up christian. For current or past christians (who went on a mission trip as a child or worked as a missionary as an adult)…. do you or do you not regret the work you did as a missionary?

32 rare images of French Missionaries in Yunnan , 1933

32 rare images of French Missionaries in Yunnan , 1933

Mission to the Land of the Three Rivers (1933-1952) In 1035, St. Bernard of Menthon built a hospice on the Mont Joux, the most ancient pass through the Alps.

The hospice was run by a congregation of canons, with the aim of assisting mountain travelers and providing shelter.

In the 16th century the hospice, together with the pass, was named Great St. Bernard.

The hospice’s fame was also due to the dogs used in mountain rescues, named after this patron saint of mountaineers and climbers.

Between 1933 and 1952, the canons of the Great St. Bernard sent 4 missions to Yunnan province.

Their area extends from north to south, confined between the natural barriers of the Yangtze River, the Salween River and the Mekong river, from Yanjing (known in Tibetan as Yerkalo) to Weixi.

The views offered by the three rivers, separated by mountains reaching heights of more than 4,500 meters, are breathtaking and unique.

During the mission’s twenty years in Yunnan, the canons took over the French M.E.P.’s mission stations.

They built a shelter, began the construction of a hospice on the peak of Latsa, and opened many schools, in particular Hualuoba school.

Most notably, the canons were able to enter an almost impenetrable universe of diverse ethnicities, religions, customs, and traditions.

At the Canons of the Great St. Bernard’s archives in Martigny, ample materials with extraordinary documentative and anthropological value were unearthed.

This exhibition was the result of extensive research financed by CASCC (Center for Advanced Studies on Contemporary China).

I spent the last week volunteering with an organization that helps homeless people, and these are some moments that I think have permanently affected my perception of life:

1) a woman declining a hot cup of coffee on a cold day because there wasn’t a restroom in walking distance

2) the joy on a man’s face when he told us he was homeless until two days prior but he had housing now

3) the realization that the people we were partnering with had been doing this for years before we came and would be continuing to do so after we left

4) seeing an older man in a recovery program light up at the opportunity to swap stories for a couple hours with a college kid about a hobby that they had in common

5) the way the crowd outside thanked us when we left after serving dinner

6) seeing the passionate faith in God of these people who have been through more in a couple months than I have in my entire lifetime

our lives intersect so briefly with the lives of others in this world and we have little choices to be a light in those moments or not. we may not see any affect in them from our actions, but that doesn’t mean we should forsake our responsibility to represent our Savior well. we’re going to screw up and have bad days and there is so much grace for that, but we can be purposeful in our continued growth

Mission Trip to Guatemala!

This past summer I traveled to Guatemala for a mission trip. I had no idea what to expect going to a new country and serving people from a different culture, but I knew the Lord was going to move! When we first landed we had to go through customs and fill out all of the fancy forms. A guy on our team felt around his bag and noticed that his tennis shoes were missing, so that was a great laugh for our team. We spent that next morning looking for another pair before we had to drive 4 hours to our site.

The 4-hour bus ride really opened my eyes to the amount of resources we have that others don't have access to. If there were ever an emergency it would take forever to get medical attention there. We served throughout the week by hosting a sports camp, doing home visits, providing a meal for children along with a craft, and hanging out with Abuelitos.

The Lord continued to show me how privileged and blessed I am. To see children running around with the biggest smiles on their faces, and light up when you would ask them their name or how old they were really just broke me down. These children were so content with what they had and loved spending time with us. I enjoyed having intentional conversations with every single family we met and didn't want to leave. The Lord revealed so much to me in such a short amount of time and Guatemala will forever hold a special place in my heart.

🎨🇵🇷 This week, my mom and I have been in charge of the arts and crafts station for Second Union Church’s VBS. Through our painting activities and other activities, it’s been fun getting to know a lot of the kids who signed up and some of the volunteers from the church and elsewhere. It’s also been awesome getting to reunite with some of the kids who participated in the camp we put together two years ago. On and off, I have been having flashbacks to that first summer and running the church’s Summer English Camp.

I'M GOING TO THE NAVAJO NATION!

Recently, I got the information that I am going to the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is a Native American Reservation that "extends into the states of Utah , Arizona and New Mexico , covering over 27,000 square miles of unparalleled beauty. Diné Bikéyah, or Navajoland, is larger than 10 of the 50 states in America." (From Navajo Nation official government website). I will be in the state of Arizona but I do not know the exact location of where I am staying!

I also just booked my flights to training and to Albuquerque. I am a nervous flyer so please pray for anxiety to cease and for safe travels! I am in the process of trying to book my First Aid & CPR classes before my trip so I'm well informed about emergencies. As the semester of college wraps up, I'm getting more and more excited about this summer's plans! I'm also nervous to be away from my boyfriend, friends, and family for two months though. So pray for that too lol! Overall though, I'm VERY EXCITED for what's coming up!!! YAYYYYYY JESUS!!!!
