a GLIMPSE of MX

So, the best way to describe a mission trip is visually. Enjoy!

First of all: the PEOPLE!

and the WORK:

and....some random photography:

whip cream, lazers, and a bowl of soup

What do these things have in common?

They are all things I encountered over the weekend...and I thought the title might be enough to grab your attention:) 

Friday: I ate Mexican with the Coulters and Jess and Amber. I got an early birthday surprise from the waiter! Then, bowling. Everything was going well, and I was dominating.....until I pinched my fingers in that "thing" that spits out balls but swallows up fingers (my excuse for losing)....actually, things really started going downhill after I bought/ate those skittles (my other excuse for losing) Mrs Barabara liked the pac-man game:

 

 

Saturday: the Sunday school kids + me + Mark&Bekah + Tyler&Whitney hit up the gigantic rescue mission in Nashville and served up some soup, mow-chowed some Quiznos, played some vicious lazer tag, and ate some really tasty pizza. It was a great time.

 

  

(wow....my mouth is huge)

On a side note, I'm wondering: can just anybody be a photographer? As long as you have a decent enough camera, you can take some pretty sweet pics. Jess took these on my camera, and I think they're pretty cool:

 

Now smile because you are loved:) (random but true)

Hello there! This is Cassie Bertsch here:

wanting to tell ya'll about the AWESOME "Bertsch Winter Retreat". It basically consisted of all of the Bertschs stuffing into one hotel for an entire weekend. It was AMAZING!!! I even got a surprise early birthday party since I won't see them until after my birthday. I love them. I love them. I love them. Do you get it yet? I love them!
