Tuesday it rained most of the day. The work group moved from scraping and painting out doors to a community center where they were able to work on painting projects inside. At the completion of the work day, everyone enjoyed showers, dinner and then off to the wildlife refuge center where they were able to take a short hike and learn about some of the local wildlife. They also learned some creative new songs like the Scat song. Today the youth in the work group and the youth in the VBS group will switch jobs. Hopefully the weather will hold out so they can return to their house painting and the group running the sports camp can return to their outdoor activities.
The other church that is at Youth Works is a Lutheran church from a small town in Minnesota. This is the first time they have taken their high school students on a mission trip so it has been exciting for them to work alongside our youth and it has been a great opportunity for our students to help them understand what servant events are all about. Everyone is getting along very well and besides some bug bites, there have been no major injuries J.
