We are in day 3 of our mission and so far everything has gone very well. Most of day one was spent riding in the church bus. It was a very (very, very) long ride. But we had a lot of fun and Ed (our driver) did a great job navigating us through the mountains.
Day two and three have been work days. Our youth are working extremely hard and have accomplished a lot in a short time. We are repairing two houses for two different families. Below is a photo of some of our youth at their work site. Trust me, they didn't look that pretty at the end of the day. :)
At night we have devotions together. We read scripture, pray, and talk about our day. Last night we look at the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5 as we talked about what it means to reflect the spirit of Christ in our mission work. Overall, our trip is going great so far and we haven't lost any youth...yet (
just kidding parents). I will try to send another update later.
