Mission Trip - Day 3





Today the real work began.  At 7:30am the kids left the Mission Center for the various job sites.  They were broke up into several different groups, one group poured concrete blocks, another worked on the roofs and three groups primed and painted various houses. 

Caleb was on one of the painting crews.  His adult sponsor, Mrs. Edwards nick named Caleb 'Pack Mule' because it was his job to lift and tote.  Each of the kids in his group had their own nick names along with funny stories to accompany. 

In the evenings the youth group members were cleaned up and conducted Vacation Bible School for the area children.  Caleb and other youth acted out the Bible story followed by crafts, snacks and play time. 

My mom heart is so grateful to the adults who accompanied these kids on this wonderful adventure! 

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
    who find great delight in his commands.
Their children will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Psalm 112:1-2
