Today was a great day! This is the 5th mission trip I have been on and honestly, every trip always feels like a brand new adventure. After meeting our Adventure Serve leaders last night, we spent today bonding with them during our work projects. Our Adventures Serve leaders (Heather, AJ, Cameron, and Bethany) split up our teams into 3 groups, each for a separate work project. My group was led by Heather, who in turn chose me to be the worksite leader. This means I was now in charge of tearing out a floor in someone's living room and replacing it. As someone who barely knows how to use a hammer, this was quite a challenge. Luckily I had a crew consisting of Ian, Darci, Julie, Jonathan, Conrad, Jake, and some of the leaders at my disposal. With their help, we managed to move the furniture (we had some trouble with the couch) and tore up the floor. God moved through us throughout the entire day and all 3 groups accomplished much more than anticipated. Overall, it was a good day and I think the team is really starting to bond.
