Wednesday/Day Away

Hey All! It's Jodi, I am in awe of this group! I can't say it enough, honestly! The leaders are all doing a great job and it was so great to hang out with them last night and get to know each of them more! I hope they enjoyed their night out at the Scenic River Bend Bed and Breakfast! We enjoyed great fellowship with one another and a good meal as well! The kids are extraordinary, I rarely hear them complain about this brutal heat we are having and almost all of them are very receptive of the earlier wake up times! We are so thankful for each one of them, honestly! 
The kids went bowling and I hear that they had a great time!
We ended our evening with Praise and Worship and Small Group time, many small groups didn't stay together very long because they were exhausted! (understandably so!) We had a slideshow of the days photos along with brownies and ice cream! :) So yummy after a day of HOT WORK!  
The groups are all at work sites now working their tails off! I've been to many sites to day to check out their work and most of them seem to be having a great time and are having a lot of progress! After lunch we are heading to the lake so I better go for now, I've got SOOOO Many things to get done before we leave!
We are so thankful for our community for all of the support they have given to us! Through monetary donations, bring food/snacks/and drink in, and for the prayers that they have given for this wonderful mission! This SERVE will for sure be going down in the History Book, we might even have to host another one in a year or so! :) (I HOPE THE REST OF THE GANG WILL BE ON BOARD)
I am exhausted from Late Late Night and EARLY Mornings but the rewards of this are SO wonderful and I know that many lives will be changed this week and make each of us stronger in our walk with Christ! We appreciate all of the Prayers and well wishes, we cannot say THANKS Enough!


I hope this finds each one of you well! I promise we are taking good care of each one of  your kids,husbands,wives,friends,parents, or whoever is here that you are thinking of! We do our best to treat them like Kings and Queens! :)
