Missionary airfares

My mother just got a new job to help me pay for school. She got this job through our church and she is really excited about it. I didn't want to her to get another job, but I think we all knew the only other option would be for me to slow down my education because I just couldn't afford the rising cost of basically everything on my current, and already stressed, work schedule. So she got this job helping people around the country to set up mission travel plans and missionary flights. She is at a small little call center in town where people call up looking for various types of trips that may or may not include things like religious tours of the holy lands or just religiously significant sites throughout the world. Schools and colleges also call her to set up big group trips and get missionary travel airfares. I was really glad to hear that she said that the people who get the best deals are those looking to take large church groups. Since she started working there I have been trying to get donations and work on setting up a church group trip so that we can qualify for the discount church airfares. So for now she is going to keep doing this job and I am trying to make the best of it as well when I have a little break in my school schedule. Though I need her help it won't be for long. I will be graduating in a year and then I will surely be getting a job good enough that I can pay back my loans and my parents. They have said they don't want to be paid back but I have said over and over that I can't let them refuse my repayment. I just feel like they have helped me so much that they have to know that I understand and appreciate their sacrifices for me over these past twenty-one years of my life. They keep giving to me even though they don't have to, and I want to give back to them even though I don't have to.
