Final Day

Well here we are at the end of the most awesome week of my life and I believe all of the youth on the trip as well. We have worked harder than ever before and have been more fullfilled than ever also. The kids see the outcome of their hard work and feel really good about the impact they have had both on all of their projects and also in the lives of the residents.

Our resident was up early cleaned off her kitchen table, had it set and was making waffles at 8am. She also ordered pizza for lunch and her daughter and grandson joined us. The difference in her attitude was also seen by others who visited her later in the day to pick up the ladders at her site. It was probably the best part of the week, making a difference in her life.

The verses that spoke this morning were 11 through 16. Talking about the youth and lifting them up, getting them to use their giftedness and read the bible. This is what we have been doing all week. Our hope is that they continue with morning devotions and that some of them start blogging with us. We also hope that this experience has changed some of them so that begin to live out their faith more fully.

I agree with Jordan that as a church we need to keep this momentum going for our youth. We are already pumped for next year and hope that adults and many more youth join us. The experience is indescribable, it has to be experienced.

See you Sunday!
