It was an eventful, productive, challenging and entertaining day.
My crew was in our first day of kids club today. We spent the morning planning our next two days with the children. Some of our students were in charge of games, some music, some arts and crafts and others reading books to the kids.
I got the opportunity to see our second group at the work project during the day as well. That crew did a great job of overcoming feasts and immense heat to get the house completed. Stephanie and Kellyn showed remarkable courage at one point that you should ask them about when they get back.
After dinner we went to Abundant Life Church and encountered a whole new style of worship. (The students haven't stopped talking about how great it was, so be prepared to have a gospel style third service sometime soon).
Emily and Elaina helped lead the congregation in a few songs which was great to see.
...Oh and when your children randomly cheer when Pastor Joel gets up to preach, know they were told to by tonights pastor.
The night ended with a little fashion show where the leaders modeled the youthworks tshirts for the students.
And the students don't know this yet, but after lights out the youthworks staff gave all the leaders a special ice cream party. It was great.
I've been very impressed with the attitude our students have displayed this week. They are having very productive work times with minimal complaining about the heat. They have challenged in many way.
When they get back you should ask all about it. (wait at least 24 hours before expecting to get a real answer. Also, use these daily recaps to ask specific questions.)
