On Our Way Home

Traveling can be very very painful... Unless you take the lemons you are delt and make sweet, sweet lemonade. Now that we have three vans it gives us the opportunity to connect with specific students, listen to music and write jokes back and forth. As if that weren't enough you can add in license plate bingo and a scavenger hunt. Yes... Our time is being well spent! Oh ya I can't forget the sleepy heads... A week of service really takes it out of a person some are always the 'sleepyheads'. Everyone is grateful for the experience but the excitement for getting home and sharing the experience is definitely growing!

Hollywood!

We have just arrived at the Oasis Youth Center in Hollywood after our night experiencing near-homelessness on the roof of Union Rescue Mission. We head back there tonight to prep and serve supper and prep breakfast for the homeless. It's been such a great experience being in skid row doing ice cream socials, playing with kids in the gym and hosting an outdoor movie night on the roof! Thank The Lord for coffee!

Union Rescue Mission

This morning our team of 25 students and 7 leaders woke up on the rooftop of the Union Rescue Mission. It's was a little cold and fairly uncomfortable, but a great experience as we begin to wrap up our California 2013 Mission Experience.

Yesterday we were able to serve ice cream to many people living on skid row. We sang songs and smiled lots as we offered the simple joy of ice cream.
