Go back to yesterday's post if you have no idea what I'm up to here, with the group journal kept by the participants in the CtK Mission Trip to Yakama.
July 19th, Day 3 - First day of service on Yakama Reservation
Q: What were your meals like today? What did you eat?
A: Good. B: cereal. L: sandwich. D: pasta. - Jeannette
Q: What was the hardest thing about your day today?
A: Opening up to a new perpsective on God from the Native Americans and how they view him and how they think of him. - Marley
Q: Did you go to kids' club or do home repair today? Tell about your experience.
A: I did home repairs today. I helped paint a house and today we just painted the trim but tomorrow we get to paint the actual house. It was really fun and I had a good time. - Julian
Q: The funniest thing that happened today was...
A: when one of the adult leaders started "preaching" to us about the zombie apocalypse. Bob and another group of kids were engaged in this huge conversation about the best way to survive. It was fantastic. Bob definitely knew what he was talking about. - Courtney
July 20th, Day 4 - Second day of service on the Reservation
Q: What was Club time like tonight?
A: Club tonight was fun but also kind of interesting because the main story of the day was the same as the story we had a sermon on on Sunday morning. The story was about when Jesus visits Martha and Mary and Mary listens to Jesus while Martha cleans the house. When Martha gets mad at Mary for not helping her Jesus tells her that it is better to listen and spend time with him than to be distracted by other things. We talked about how we need less distractions and more time just to be with Jesus. - JJ
Q: Who is the most interesting person you've met so far? What makes him/her interesting?
A: Cory has been the most interesting person. We are total strangers to him and he invites us like we knew him forever. He showed how he worshiped God. - Marley
Q: What was the weather like today? How does it affect the day?
A: The weather today was really hot. One of the leaders said it was about 95 degrees! Since I was helping paint it was better than it raining, but it could have been a little cooler because it was hot! - Julian
Q: Did you do kids' club today or repairs? Tell about your experience.
A: Today I worked with kids' club. Quite honestly, it was INCREDIBLE. Jeannette and I worked for the "Sharing Square," where we sang songs and read a story from the Bible. The kids had instant connections with all of the YouthWorks kids. A lot of the little girls loved to play and so I spent a lot of time with them. My back is a little sore from all the piggy back rides, but to see all the kids so happy was amazing! They are so full of energy and love. - Courtney
The journey continues...
