Wacky Sock Wednesday

Day four in Bayou la Batre, Alabama is complete. The day started off with a nourishing break fest that gave everyone a boost to get to there service projects. The service projects consisted of painting, weeding and helping out with kids. These projects went on from 9 A.M. to 3 in the afternoon. Everyone did a great job and kept everything running very smoothly. 

As everyone started to finish up there work projects, dinner was a must. Dinner served fresh pizza from Little Caesars and watermelon on the side. It was a great meal to end the day with. After dinner, the vans were prepared to leave and take the kids to Friendship Baptist Church. Once they arrived, a pastor took the time to talk to the kids about worry. He explained to them that you should never be worried about material things and to just let God take control. He helped the kids realize that God is always in control and that worrying is a waste of time. After the sermon, the kids all gathered in a big circle and cheered there friends as they played basketball. It was a complete success. 

To end the night, root-beer floats were made as a night snack. The lesson to close the day off was sacrifice. 

The kids learned that giving up something for the people you love is beyond important. At the end of the day, Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice. He saved us from our sins and we will always be  grateful for that. 

Today was a good day in sunny Alabama.
