Mission to Maine Daily Reflection, July 30, 2026
Trip Reflection by The Flower Girls
1. What challenged you today- physically, emotionally or spiritually?
When we were walking on our scavenger hunt, my feet were hurting really badly. It was end of the day and we were tired. It was hard to keep your energy up after a long week, but I kept going and we had a great evening together.
-Ella Hannagan
2. Who inspired you, encouraged you, or made you laugh today?
When were planting flowers Sparrows Nest, I had to dig a really big hole for our plants- Ms. Rachele was helping me, and I felt encouraged. This trip was my first time planting flowers, and I really liked it. Also, Ava and Ella were having an emotional moment, and they were sad and frustrated. Then all of a sudden, Ella said to Ava “Your hair smells good,” and that made me laugh!
-Susanna Sanford
3. What’s the best thing you’ve eaten so far on the trip?
Chocolate Moose Tracks ice cream at the Ice Cream Shoppe! But I also really liked the bacon at breakfast!
-Gwen Sedita
4. What’s something you learned about Maine today?
I leaned how to tell the difference between a boy and girl lobster!
-Ava Vordemberge
5. How can our church family at home pray for us tomorrow?
Pray for us that we’re successful by planting pretty flowers for our friends in Maine, and also that we stay safe for the rest of our trip.
-Lucy Phillips
