They are back safe

Two van locations

The vans got separated in traffic

Remember that they need to clean out vans before they leave.

They got separated

They will be coming in a few minutes apart.  Remember to make sure the vans are cleaned out before they leave.

They are just getting on the far end of the Elgin O'Hare

With a bunch of other people....

Trip update

Looks like Bob's phone was "borrowed"

Plan

They are walking through the Louisville Slugger facility and will be on the road soon.  Check back for updates on their travel progress and a more accurate pickup time.  We have one so vac but if someone could bring another with an extension cord, that would be great.  Safe travels!  Bob wanted to remind everyone that the youth need to clean the vans before they leave with you.  Please encourage everyone to help.  This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.  They just left and will be stopping for lunch at some point.

They made it onto a baseball card

Thursday

Hi! This is Madi and Erica (Go Merica!!) Yesterday was a successful day of mission work! We had groups working at New Directions (manual labor), the Senior Center, and at Catholic Charities (a refugee education and preparation center). After a long day of work we had the opportunity to visit Bates Baptist Church to experience a new style of worship. I think we all agreed that the service was incredible and something we will never forget! We finished off the night with Club and Church Group Time. We have another day of hard work ahead and can't wait to serve more of the Louisville community! Hawks win and tøp is love |-/

It's hard to believe that we only have two more work days left in Louisville   Yesterday all the groups worked hard again dans group did a lot of painting and dan even did some of the work. Daria stayed behind to care for Megan who wasn't feeling good. Christies group worked at the senior center in the morning and cleaned up some parks. And my group worked teaching refugees from Cuba and Iraq English. In the evening we went to the Kentucky derby museum it was interesting to see all the wealth there and all the poverty where we are staying only 5 minutes away

One more from yesterday


Tuesday morning

After our first day of work everyone was pretty exhausted  all the groups worked very hard. Dan & Daria's group worked cleaning out an old baptist church while Christies group worked at a senior center  in the morning and helped prepare an apartment for a refugee family in the afternoon. My group helped teach English to a group of Cuban refugees I may have taught them all how to say lets go Blackhawks. But it wasn't all work in the evening we hung out at the river front park and we walked Across a bridge into Indians . Once again I have to say what a great group we have this week everyone is working hard and getting along great. God is good
