I'm sorry it's been a few days since I have posted but things have been pretty crazy. RAMP Week ended with Foot washing (a YouthWorks tradition) which literally makes me cry every time. This was my fourth foot washing experience with YouthWorks and yes I did tear up a bit. Foot washing hits me big time and is so reflective. Friday night concluded with a final area time. Our areas name is Jordan---I think I mentioned that in an earlier blog---so our whole area received the name the Jordarians. It was great. We all circled up in our site teams with Jordan and prayed and then headed to bed for our final night at RAMP.
The next morning came way too early. We all got up, packed our things, helped clean the building, and anxiously awaited our departure times! Our vehicles are a Ford F-150 and a Blue Chevy Cruz. I offered to drive our first leg and then we were off. I drove the first 4 hours until we hit Alliance Nebraska where we ate at subway for lunch. It's almost like Chris Thompson and YouthWorks got together and planned this subway lunch spot! haha. On almost every mission trip I went on we ate subway a lot, it was just kind of fitting for my first road trip with my YouthWorks staff. After we ate we drove another hour to Chadron where we had to buy some groceries for the week. Chadron was 2 hours from our destination. After an interesting wal-mart trip we ventured off for the last leg of our journey to Kadoka.
Just to clarify, our site is NOT in Kadoka. However, a very nice Pastor of a church there has a shed that holds all of our storage and since today is Memorial Day we couldn't get to our actual site until tomorrow so we have been staying at the church since Saturday. We went to church Sunday morning and then started in on our tasks. Work has been kinda slow since we aren't at our site but we are still managing to get a lot accomplished.
Anyway things are going pretty well. 1 week down, 10 to go! (Not that I'm counting) This time I do have a couple new prayer requests for yall!
Pray...
- We are well rested and prepared for our youth when they arrive two weeks from today.
- For my confidence in work projects! I am sad I won't be working with kids this summer but am excited for what God has in store, so please pray I am well prepared and know what I am doing.
- For our area directors who are living out of their cars this summer traveling between sites
I love you all.
