We had a great trip over to Colorado. On the ride, we played a lot of games, made duct tape art, and some of us managed to get a good nap. The weather during the trip was the best yet. We settled into our new church facility, Christ Community Church in Ft. Collins. The accommodations are excellent and we have lots of room to spread out as well as air conditioning! Our staff consists of Hailey, Kelsey, and our very own Ffej. Ffej is tremendous help in the kitchen and it doesn’t hurt to know the cook.
We have two work groups this year. The first group consists of Marney, Autumn, Channing, Izaiah, Connor, Lindy, and Mark. Their assignment this week is painting, weeding, and trimming trees. The second group consists of Evan, Karl, Josh, Anna, Emily, and Trudie.They are serving at a resident’s house named Jeff who is disabled to help move car parts, trim weeds, and watch his son Justin.
We were blessed with a special guest, Binh, the Vietnam mission team leader for Children of Peace International (COPI). She shared with us her challenges as she prepares for the next mission. She always brings the group such positive energy that feeds our group.
Our theme for this trip is “Connecting” and John 15:5 is our theme verse – “I am the vine, you are the branches…”. Our group is learning about how to connect with others as well our savior. We ended the night with devotions talking about how we are created with unique gifts and are special children of God.
