Another project the teams decided to take on was landscaping the front of house. Charlee, the homeowner, enjoys gardening and plants. She was very excited for this surprise project that spruced up the front of her home.
When I asked a few of the youth what stood out to them about their family groups on the work sites, they had a lot to share from their heart.
Gracie shared that she really enjoyed having such an involved homeowner and that the interaction with Charlee had been such a blessing. She explained how her family had really enjoyed building a relationship with her. This family group was also blown away by Charlee's hospitality as she showed her gratitude by fixing lunch for the family groups two days in a row!
Patrick was very impressed with some of the new skills he developed on the work site...including building a bench "without nails!" ;)
Christian shared that he is really impressed with the fact that the youth and adults are working so hard and well together on such little sleep. He also expressed how great it is that everyone contributes on the work site.
Rachel is really enjoying how close the family relationships have become. She also shared that she can really see God in her team members.
Drew came a couple days later into our mission trip. He is impressed with how accepting and inviting his team was when he got here, even though he came late. He's been so thankful for how they have embraced him as a family.
These two teams will spend their last day on the work site slinging drywall mud, caulking around the front door, and cleaning up their work site.
