MOVE08-Saturday-Middle School

Today, the last day, the final moments, what can I say? Oasis and Lifeline students are the most AMAZING people ever! Today we were at Manowe, all working together. Oasis students split into two teams, one was in charge of raking and removing leaves from one of the pastures, the other team was in charge of painting the cabins at The Summit. We pulled the team together in the Dream Center for a gourmet lunch of grilled hot dogs, chips and snacks. We had the chance to hear from Randy about the impact our teams have had at Manowe in the last year with all the work we have done. It is really good for the kids to hear the positive effects of their hard work. The remainder of our time was spent cleaning up, and putting the finishing touches on the projects we began, and having some INCREDIBLE team fellowship time. As tired as I know everyone is you would never know it by watching them work and play together today. I have so many wonderful memories from this trip that are going to make me laugh, cry and just sit back and reflect on how amazing middle school students really are. I watched each one of the kids grow and change in so many amazing ways. They are each wonderful and incredible individuals who put a major dent this week in Bringing Up There Down Here and letting Others Know They Matter.
