SOS Memphis, June 20-26
8 youth (and 3 adults) traveled to Tenessee to work with a long time favorite mission organization... SOS Memphis. It was a trip full of memories...
We laughed, we cried, we worked hard. We learned important lessons... like shingles can melt, roof jacks save lives, sweat dries, and you should always replace your electrolyltes! We learned hard work bonds you quickly to new friends, we are weirder than we know, sitting on the floor is painful, and Carly can't dance. We learned that Rendevous can change your life, go-carts are not bumper cars, and laughter is good for the soul.
We also learned important lessons like... belief doesn't create Truth, just as unbelief doesn't uncreate Truth, worship with friends is amazing, and being the hands and feet of Christ isn't always easy. We learned that the choices we make come with long-term affects, and passion is fueled by learning... oh, and that shingles melt.
Here are some pics from the big adventure!
