"Yes" was the word of the day today! We returned to the larger space for Pam's Promise to finish our painting, staining, and lawn care duties. Students were very flexible and took initiative in volunteering for odd jobs. From picking up and breaking sticks to reaching high to wipe down window and door frames, our middle school rockstars were always up for the task.
They were so excited to work and do a fantastic job; we ended up finishing our day earlier than we had anticipated we would! We cooled off in the pool at Milligan Park and headed back to the church for some delicious lasagna and thoughtful devotions.
Again, we talked about where we saw God today. Your wonderful youth responded:
-In the excitement of getting a big project done so you could go help with the next one
-In one of the residents, who came out and commented on how nice the newly painted bench looked
-The faces of Stephanie, Annie, and Maddie when we surprised them with the finished porch
-The teamwork in pulling weeds, seeing how much we all accomplished at the end
We're looking forward to our third work day and fun evening to celebrate our hard work!
