My First Missions Trip

It's been a week since I have came back from my FIRST missions trip!!! And I haven't posted about it yet! *shocked face* Lol..

Well everyone, I went to Puebla, Mexico.. Yes, Mexico :)

It worked out that I could go.. I didn't have to work very hard to raise the $700-800 because it was almost all donated/sponsored!!! I am SO THANKFUL!!!!! They know who they are and I am SO SO SO VERY GLAD!

Here are a few pictures to start :)


Okay so how about this.. This will be part 1, including the first day or two! Then more posts will come!



Here are the 4 of us who went from my church in Ontario, California.
My Pastor's wife (Sis. Clark), Steven, me, & Breana


I'm overly excited in this picture! My heart was so full!!!

Boarding the Volaris plane



This 13 year old beauty is Sofia :) new friend of mine!


Sis. White & Sis. Clark are best friends!
 It was only fitting that they went on this trip together!


Taking the bus to the hotel in Puebla


Most of the luggage


Walking to the center :) First adventures underway!




First stop is a bite to eat! Tacqueria de Los Angeles!
Best food, ate there all the time.. The horchata was the best I've ever tasted!


Next was the Cathedral :)



And here begins our first night out!



Our first night, it rained :) It was Heaven for me!
I love wet, rainy, cold weather!

Glad you got to go. I went on two missions trips as a young person and I've never forgotten. Life changing moments.

The Struggle is Real

I am not usually the person who spreads their woes on Facebook, Instagram, or blog. Tonight may be the exception but I will refrain from letting emotions get the best of me. We are all facing trials. Whether you are 16 years old and tempted to cut your hair, 18 years old and thinking about leaving the church since you are technically an 'adult', 21 years old and being pressured to drink, or 24 years old and struggling with hurt and depression. The struggle is REAL! The truth is, we are all at different points in our walk with God and, believe it or not, the trials are ALL God-ordained. They have been put in our life specifically for us and to make us more like Christ. The struggles you are facing are a test of your faith and love for God, but they are also there so you can learn from your mistakes and help others when they go through the same trial. Honey, if you are dealing with hurt, I could quote scripture after scripture giving you encouragement and to cast your car...

Little Miss is Back :)

Well, well, well. :) Look who just posted. Meagan Rowell is coming back to the blog-o-sphere! After I stopped blogging, I was thinking of what I had posted. (in 2010) *thoughts* Did it really help anybody with their walk with God? Did it honestly help?! Several people emailed me and well, I'm starting it back up, aren't I. :) Look forward to more posts... and ladies, new hair tutorials ;) I've got a few treats up my sleeve for this new "chapter"  in "They Say... "She is Unashamed." Love, Meggs

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)
