Hard work pays off

Wow! What a week so far and we still have two days left! Monday we went to a place called sunshine academy and besides all of the holding and throwing of the toy dinosaurs, those kids were really sweet and they defiantly made an impact In my life. Yesterday we went painting and that was a lot of work spending about 7 or 8 hours in the hot sun painting a house, garage, and a shed. Our thought for that day was even though we couldn't see the people we were helping, we were still making a difference in someone's life and that's exactly what it was! Later that night we also went to a great hip hop worship, we met many friendly people and even got invited to stay in the churches basement by a 5 year old but we decided to come home. Today we went to work with little kids at head start and we were in for a surprise when we learned that the kids were going golfing! We also got to join in and I'm sure those kids did much better than any of us. All of the kids were so polite and it surprised me and I really hope they stay that way! So far it's been a lot of fun and I can't wait to see how the rest of the week will turn out! Hope all is well back home. Hannah Frawley
