Our second work day has come and gone. We were split again between the Salvation Army Store (with Jenny's crew--Luke (a powerhouse worker I hear) Zach, Katelyn, and Katie W.); the Salvation Army Corp. (with Chris' team--Blythe, Amanda, Nathan, and Nick ( the box carrying monster); and my team (Chloe (a master painter), Sam, Drew, and Katie G.) at Solid Rock Men's Shelter. By the end of the day the groups were mixed around a bit so to better use our time to complete more projects as we finished our assignments but everyone continued to work hard and we got a lot accomplished. Not only that, but some of us even got some shopping done at the SA Store!
Our day finished out with dinner of pulled pork sandwiches, fries, and slaw at First UMC in Duluth, MN followed by a great night of free time and worship on the beach at Wisconsin Point. It was a great opportunity to expend the last of our energy, do some swimming, collect sand, worship God, collect sand, and--oh, did I mention we picked up some sand? I think I saw Drew pour about a cup and a half out of his shoes when we got back to the church. No joke. But it was all worth it. There is something about being outside, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and next to an bonfire that makes the love of God feel just that much greater.
After worship we came back to the church, dried off and got rid of as much sand as possible, cleaned out the van and started to get ourselves ready for bed. Unfortunately, however, any thoughts of an early bed time (ok so maybe the thought of an early bed time was only in my head) vanished when everyone was offered late night sundaes!
All-in-all it was a great day and we're looking forward to tomorrow!
Until tomorrow,
Jonathan
