It's pouring rain after an evening thunderstorm moved through the area. We're huddled in our Salvation Army Headquarters for the evening. I'm going to sit down and write a few thoughts to go with some photos. The kids are too busy having some much-deserved down time. The boys (mostly) are in the gym playing basketball, while some of the girls are getting crafts ready for tomorrow. I overheard one of our youth say, "this is the best mission trip ever."
Today I led a team that painted the entire wall up to about 8 feet. They were so patient and thorough. The wall looked great until the thunderstorm tonight and the broken window let a lot of water run down the wall and mess up our paint job.
One team went a visited a local nursing home. They made conversation and tried to play some simple games with some of the residents. In the afternoon there was a kids club off-site and then a similar vacation Bible School here at the Salvation Army.
Tomorrow we are going to feed the homeless in DC, paint the gym some more, and run kids club. In the evening we plan to tour the monuments at night.
Believe it or not we are half way through the work week.
Love your kids!
Pastor Dale
