What a week! Here is a look at what we did:
July 5th- We sold Nelson's Port-a-pit chicken and ate some too!
Monday- we cleaned around the church. I mowed
my lawn (lol) and it was good.Tuesday we went to Potato Creek State park and picked up trash, cleaned out fire rings and got water out of boats.
Wednesday we went to the Lion's eye glass recycling plant in Upland, IN. We sorted over 10,000 glasses that will be sent to people who cannot afford them. What an amazing opportunity to serve. If you get the chance to go, you should do it.
Thursday we went to a local mobile home park and picked up trash and then served 40 hamburgers and a lot of hot dogs to the residents. It was a cool time to get to connect with people where they are.
Friday we held a free car wash which was really free. No strings attached and yet people still didnt believe us and also gave us $200 in donations which we gave to our church's missions fund.
Saturday we had a free breakfast for the community and that ended our week!
It was a great week of work, fun and hanging out with the kids. Nothing can replace time when you are building relationships with people.
