Our first day is almost over!

All of our SERVANTS arrived safely and our now settling in, they have had a very busy day so far! They had a chance to swim when they got here and then after supper we headed to the county fair and they got to experience a little bit of rural life with their small groups while completing a scavenger hunt. We came back to the school and did some mixers to get to know each other a little better and we ended the night with a slideshow of a few pictures from the day. They have also been experiencing our great Kansas heat! (Complete Sarcasm intended) It was over 100 today and it looks like it could be that way all week, but we know that God is good and he always provides! We are also thanking God that all of our participants arrived safely! Tomorrow we will have a very busy day, we're going to church as a group then all of the kids will be going to their prayer partners homes for dinner. In the afternoon they are going to do a group activity and travel to each of the different work sites for the week, so that they can see everyone's work sites before they start working on them. To finish off the day we are having a community worship service in the park with our praise band and speaker. So far everything has been GREAT to say the least! We have wonderful participants, wonderful leaders, wonderful volunteers, and a wonderful host team, that we cannot thank God enough for! Please continue praying for us that we may have good weather, great fellowship, and an overall great week! Sorry this is so late!
