Success!!! That would be the word I would use to describe this trip. Our students and leaders worked hard. It was awesome, not only did we work hard but everyone had a super positive attitude while doing so. We started our work day at "The Shelter's Right Hand", this is a transition home of battered women in children in the area. You could tell that this living environment was eye opening for a lot of our students. Our job at the shelter was simple..............CLEAN!!! We mopped, swept, scrubbed, ect. and at the end of it all, that place looked pretty spiffy. Next it was back to our home base where the night before we had prepared bag lunches, one for us and one for a friend to be determined at a later time. We then took to the streets, looking to hand out a lunch, a smile, and a few kind words. As an added bonus, the people who got a lunch also got a bit of the life saving word of Our Lord and Savior. (We had written our favorite verse on the bag) Lastly, to thank our host church we did some work for them, cleaning/organizing merchandise for their up-coming rummage sale. At the end of the day we were all pooped but yet somehow we were able to cook up some more energy for the next days activity.............DISNEYLAND!!!!
Disneyland is Disneyland, I mean, how could it not be amazing? Rides were great, lines were short and the kids were happy. We then had a traffic free ride back to Santa Maria, all in all, this was an awesome weekend and I can't wait to do it again next year.........
