I woke up today at 6am to get ready for the long, fun, adventurous day ahead.
Today we left SPU @ 8:13am to head over to the Urban Family Center. UFC is a ministry that get people to come together and hangout and get relationships started. well anyways we were setting up and helping with the bounce floaty things. We were all set up and just hanging out talking with people and then we get our first phone call for a pick up at the airport. YAY!!!!
Uncle Tom, Brooke, and I went back and forth from the airport from about 11am-4pm getting people and sending them to our first project site to help out there. It was so cool seeing the smiles on the other students face as we picked them up from the doors they arrived at.
Every student I handed a name tag to and greeted them with a great smile and had good convos with.
when we got most of our students here we headed back to the apartment complex where the other students were volunteering and fed the students that just arrived. we chatted a little while there and started cleaning up from the block party.
around 5ish I believe we headed out to pick up two more beautiful students on our wonderful "limousine" (prison bus) lol.
Right when the two got on the bus, Tom,Brooke, and I did a little skit for them. It was so much fun. Tom was the conductor. while Brooke and I were the "flight attendants" helping them with whatever they needed. they wanted water we gave it to them. they wanted candy we gave it to them. it was so much fun just being able to enjoy the company of my new soon to be great friends.
when we got back to campus everyone helped unload the bus and headed to there rooms to get all situated and relaxed. us girls sat in the hallway and had some bonding time (LOVE IT). I just cant wait to be able to get to know these girls on a deeper level and just be able to share the love of Christ with them and them to me. I an just so thrilled to be able to come along so many amazing women of God.
after our little bonding time we went to the food room and had dinner and then had some more fellowship with the guys included. after just sitting there and getting to know one another Uncle Tom started talking about the many things that we will be doing this next month. I AM SO PUMPED!!!
God is going to use us and grow us beyond anything that we can ever imagine. He has known about us going on this trip longer than we have known.
Aah! I cant even explain how wonderful it is to finally meet the rest of our fellow teammates. it is just so wonderful.
I just want to thank you all for all the prayer support, financial support, encouragement, love, acceptance, etc. that I have gotten from everyone.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT STOP!
I still need it. it is only the beginning of the project. we have LOTS more to do.
SO KEEP PRAYING!!
I hope that you all have a very blessed day and week.
much love and prayers
