How One Day Makes A Difference...

It is Wednesday and the group of 12 has been in Houston since Monday.  We slept over at church on Sunday Night to depart at 4 AM Monday.

We setup up our mini indoor campsite and the song created "we're going to Texas. we're going to Texas" (you really need the accompany the dance to appreciate it completely.

The flight was mostly uneventful and some of you may ask "what is it like to travel with 10 youth" and I have to say it is pretty easy, especially since 4 got TSA PREAPPROVED Status.  There was no special process of removing things in the morning. 



We grabbed some breakfast, boarded at 6:20 AM and touched down in Houston 3 hours. We found out luggage and exited the airport to a warm and uncomfortable level of humidity that can only be described as "HEAVY" as you could feel it.







We got to the hotel and it was immediately obvious that we were tired and we were waiting for our ministry partner, Wes Foster.  After some blips we met up and then set to creating the hygiene kits for distribution

AND THEN IT RAINED.  No, not rained exactly, but more an event where it felts like the sky exploded into a rainstorm which felt like a river from the sky.  Due to this, we time of day, and plan to eat dinner at 6:45 we completed prep for Tuesday with our introduction to "street evangelism" and broke for the day.

 

We took breaks and some slept, some hung out and chatted, and some of had work to do for school.  We regrouped and ventured to Maggianno's Little Italy Dinner.

 We had some initial issues with what was happening due to communication issues in March and when we arrived, but we worked it out and had a feast that night...


The night ended with some pool time and prepared for Tuesday!

HOUSTON - WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS....

We are scheduled to take off on Monday, June 25th, 2018 at 6:30 AM.

Sure, Blogs may not be hip or in some people's mind relevant ( I am considering this RETRO).  They also require we read, but this is the experiences of some of our youth who attend different Gatherings and what I encourage you to do is read about what these young people have experienced.

Some names you may recognize and some you may not, but one thing is for sure...

The experiences and opportunities this offers these young folks are worth every hour planning, email sent, and fundraising dollar raised.

Hang with us and stay in touch.
