Wonder Changes Everything!

We waited three years to go on this mission trip. The logistics were just not coming together. For three years we tried to do a mission trip to Puerto Rico on our own. After experiencing Wonder Voyage through pilgrimage and mission I knew they could accomplish what we could not. Thanks to the Wonder Voyage…
