Missions Update Marin Decker blows bubbles to entertain a child at the hospital during a mission to Honduras. Everyone I heard talk about their missions said it was amazing and that it changed their lives, but that still didn t prepare me for how incredible this has been. That first day in the hospital is something I will always remember. Seeing the kids for the first time and witnessing how just a smile or some bubbles would make them so happy was amazing to see. One thing that I didn t expect to happen was that I would get along so well with the other two youths and the rest of the team.
