1. Please mark as appropriate: I am a regular attendee of Redeemer Pres. for : 3 years

2. Why do people go on mission trips? Besides the fact that your parents are going, why do you want to go on this trip?

To help people learn about God, and if they are Christians, to tell them more. I also make friends with other kids, and help them with stuff like VBS or learning English or build houses.

3. What part of this trip are you most excited about? Why?
Seeing how they live and how Christianity changes their lives. And also help Christians change their lives.


4. What part of the trip do you feel nervous about? Why? Not knowing enough Spanish ( although I know some,.)

5. What are a few things you do well or a few character traits you possess that might be helpful on this trip? I am good at making friends. I am good at building stuff, making art and being creative.

6. Do you speak Spanish? Some

If not, what do you think it will be like to be around people that don’t speak English? How will you communicate with them? It will be hard, but a lot of Spanish sounds like English, so I think I might understand stuff.

7. Look up Monterrey, Mexico on your computer. List three interesting things you discover about the city, the people, the culture, etc. We would like you to share this with the rest of the team at one of the meetings.

* Cerro de la Silla ( the Saddle mountain)
* the dish Cabrito al pastor
* There was a Mexican Inquisition and many jews went to Nuevo Leon to be free.

8. Who is Jesus? What was his attitude on his mission trip to earth (see Mark 10:45)? What should be our attitude as we go to Monterrey?

He is the One who came to save us from our sins. We need to be happy and be ready to serve people.

9. Is there anything else you would like us to know about you or your family?

We like being together.
