Day 6

This morning we left YouthWorks. We had a great week and lots of emotional goodbyes. I won a calendar by beating Heather in a competition that ended with a task to impersonate a potato in the most realistic way.

We drove from YouthWorks to Benton Harbor Street Ministry where we learned about the ministry and all the things that they were doing. It was a great reminder of the continuing ministry occurring around town after we leave.

We spent the day walking around St Joe's and at the beach.

One of the lasting memories of the trip will be that we went to concert and I told the kids (who weren't enjoying themselves at all) we could leave if they would dance around to one song. They did a line dance that we learned at YouthWorks and the crowd turned around and watched us. Then They called us up front and we danced in front of the whole crowd. It was one of the funnier things I've ever seen.

We had a great debrief discussion.

We then returned to the beach to watch an amazing sunset. It was lots of fun. Getting to the end here and there's mixed emotions, but its been great.

More tomorrow...
