We arrived safely in St. Paul yesterday afternoon. All that driving should have worn us out, but we arrived ready for adventure! We are staying at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Midway and although we wish they had airconditioning in our sleeping rooms we have gladly sardined ourselves in and made space for everyone else!
We are split into 3 groups that are serving in lots of different areas. Some of us started our week serving lunch at a homeless shelter, some worked at kids' club with area children, and others have been helping to build sets for Immanuel's VBS and weeding their flower beds. Tomorrow we head out to new work sites including serving the elderly, hanging out with children, and doing other things to serve and love the community of Midway.
We are tired already, but well fed, and happy to have discoverd that Caribou Coffee is just across the parking lot! Rumor has it Jamba Juice is just a little further....
Tonight we are headed out to Eagan Park to enjoy the fireworks, play in the park and generally try to stay out of trouble!
Now that we have discovered exactly where to sit to find the wireless signal in the church, more updates to come! Thanks for your prayers and love!
