MOVE08-Thursday-High School

I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly proud of these kids I am! They worked harder than I ever thought possible today. We began our day at the Center for the Homeless where we worked from 10 am until 1:30pm building a garden and serving lunch to the residents. These few hours were full of roto-tilling, pulling weeds, planting, cleaning, serving food, planting some more, and did I mention roto-tilling?!?! Through the sweat, dirt, blisters, and sore muscles these kids never let down, working as hard as they could the entire time with smiles on their faces. From that point we headed to Hope Ministries (formerly known as Hope Rescue Mission) where we picked up their residents and headed out to Bendix Woods where we spent several more hours pulling fallen trees and branches out of the wooded areas… not an easy job to say the least! Even still, these kids were full of smiles and having a great time. They served as hard as they could today and as leaders, we are so proud of them. Needless to say though, I think everyone will sleep well tonight! Thank you for your prayers today! They have made such a difference! Continue to pray for sunshine as we head to Benton Harbor tomorrow to work with Habitat for Humanity.
