Work Day #2 Update

Wow!!!! Wednesday was an awesome day! We are so amazed at the work the youth are doing this week. The kids really worked hard. They felt more comfortable at what they were doing and took initiative on the worksite. The Big Kahuna house (the large house we are working on) got the majority of the sheetrock done and began to tape and float. At the Tiki House (the smaller house) the youth have completed three sides of the roof. They worked extremely hard even in the hot part of the day. There was a competition going on between the two sides. It was friendly competition though. I am happy to report that the side that Tami, Jenny, and Christie were leading beat the side that Worksite Boss Jason was leading. Girls rule!!!!! In the inside of the Tiki house, the sheetrock has almost been completed and they began taping and floating. The 6 high school youth we have are working very hard and being excellent leaders. The younger youth really look up to them. We finished up at the worksite a little early and took the kids to the beach. It was beautiful weather and we had a great time. God blessed us with a rainbow! There was an ultimate wrestling match in the water! Some kids enjoyed more stuffed snow balls at the beach (it is a popular item in Mississippi).

"mission trip is great but it gets kinda hot but im not complaining im stating a fact. its alot of fun seeing the 7th grades really work hard i think its great how they get the point. im leading worship this week and its lot of fun and i think the most important part is when we are going to have worship on the beach. but if you ever get the chance to come, dont pass it up. it will change your look on life." -karen
