Missions Day Two 03/08

Today, a good group of the kids were outside early to watch God’s wonderful sunrise. Later, we came to the dining hall to enjoy an amazing breakfast the staff at Longview were very kind to make for all of us. We had TAG time for twenty minutes and it was a great way to start our day by spending time in the word of Christ in Ephesians chapter two. Once we got finished up, Kailan, a super kind intern at Longview, told us what work we would be doing that day, which was painting all of the fences. It wasn’t hard work, but we all got covered in paint, which was a bit of a hassle trying to get off. 

A bit after, we were called in for another delicious lunch made by the beautiful staff at Longview Ranch. Once we finished, we were all told it had started to rain, so a few people stayed in the dining hall and relaxed on the couches while a handful of people went outside to paint fences and do other jobs the staff needed help with getting done. Once the jobs were ended, we all started going our own ways and relaxing, while some others played games. 

Tonight, we are all looking forward to dinner, worship led by Carlos/Macy/Isabella/Brady, and a time of discussion on Ephesians 2. As a class, we are working on memorizing most of Ephesians, so we will break up into small groups to work on our different verses. We are having a lovely time! Please pray we continue to grow in unity and love for our Savior, and that we all stay healthy and safe!
