Pineapple Juice????

Hey Crossroads!

Today started for me at about 6:00 AM, waaaaayyyyy to early for summertime! We had waffles for breakfast and what I thought we were drinking was orange juice, but surprise surprise, it was pineapple juice!

I’m in a group called Shingle Bells, and by the way our group is amazing! We have some pretty hard workers and we have been getting things done pretty fast. This morning our group was on our way to our resident’s house and one of our girls realized she was wearing flip flops (which is against the dress code), so we had to turn all the way around to get her tennis shoes. It was a bonding moment in the car.

Yesterday our group thought we could do a little more than we could actually handle. We were supposed to leave our site at 3:30-4pm and we didn’t end up leaving until 5:30. It was quite an experience for all of us, and one of our boys ended up in the hospital with heat exhaustion. He is ok now, and will be coming back to work with us tomorrow! Today our group actually had a plan, we got through what we wanted to, and we got to come to the church a little early today, it was nice!

The worship services have been amazing! I believe they have touched everyone on this mission trip. There have been many eye opening experiences for everyone in our church, including me. God has touched my heart in numerous ways and it has been an awesome feeling. I think our group on this trip has become a lot closer through everything that has happened this week. We trust each other in a way to tell each other things we wouldn’t normally tell just anyone.

It’s only Tuesday and God has been amazing!! I pray everyone stays safe and we get the job God called us out here to do DONE!
