Well, ok... that's not all there is to tell!
For the last few days we have been working hard in expected and unexpected ways. We have been serving at a nursing home taking patients to and from physical therapy, playing bingo, and just encouraging the residents. We have been working at Union Gospel Mission playing with toddlers and babies, hanging out with kids at the Boys and Girls Club West, and running a Kid's Club at a local church... whew!
We have also been making new friends from California, South Dakota, and Missouri. We have eaten an awful lot, laughed a lot, and spent a lot of time in devotions, prayer, and worship. It's been a whirlwind week and its hard to believe there are just a few more days left!
Tonight we spent some time at a local church having a picnic with community residents and THEN we went to breakdancing lessons, followed by a crazy break dancing competition. Yup, its true! We haven't had too much coffee or ice cream yet, but I'm sure we won't escape Minnesota without both. Just a few more days until we head home, hard to believe!
We've taken a lot of pictures, but unfortunately the internet connection at the church is pretty slow, so pictures are to come, but for now... we are all safe, happy, and learning an awful lot. We spent our church group time tonight talking about things God is teaching each of us in this place and in life in general. All of the youth had a lot to share about things they are learning and we look forward to continuing the journey. THanks so much for all of your support and prayers! We are blessed by you!!
