Lots of Mission Work

The Soup Kitchen at First Presbyterian of Jamaica in Queens where we stayed:

Working at the Salvation Army Kid's Club

On Wednesday our group made 100 sandwiches and then on Thursday we were given the opportunity to help Ken deliver them in the Salvation Army canteen truck! I learned that not all homeless look like I expected them to look!

Time to head for home..........

What a rewarding and wonderful week for all of us!! Boy, am I tired!!

Ready or Not, Here I Come!!

On August 1st I will be heading to Queens, New York on a mission trip with 2 other adults and 12 high school students. We were supposed to go to Juarez, Mexico but due to some major crime in that area we decided to go to NYC instead :). We're actually leaving a day early so we can visit Ground Zero, Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty. I am very excited about the trip but worried as well. I have never been away from Michael for more than a day or two at the most! Please pray for me as well as the other missionaries.
