Despite the radar yesterday, we did not have any rain in Marvell yesterday. The work group was able to move back outside and work on the houses they are scraping. Today they finished scraping the houses and were able to return to the community center to put a second coat of paint on the areas they had worked on.
The VBS group was able to go to a retirement center this morning and visit with some of the seniors. Some of the students were treated to some tales from a resident who is 103 years old and gospel singing by his daughter.
Last night, after showers and dinner, they traveled to a local Methodist church for a worship service that was designed especially for the Youth Works group. The church works closely with Youth Works and loves the students who come to serve. The students were treated to ice cream, compliments of the church, after the service. Tonight, after they finish working and showers, the students will host a barbecue for the community and say their farewells to their new friends. So far everyone is doing well and our students are being amazing ambassadors for Christ in Marvell.
Tomorrow the our youth will pack, clean the facility and head out in the morning for Atlanta where they will spend the night at Rivercliff Lutheran Church before going to Six Flags Water Park on Saturday. The students will be given their cell phones in the morning, so you may be hearing from them during the drive. Also, look for more pictures tomorrow night as we will be able to upload the pictures easier once we are in Atlanta.
A couple more pictures are available on Picasaweb - Thursday.
