Day 6::
Today was our last day here in Dallas. When we woke up this morning it was raining like cats and dogs, which unfortunately stopped us from doing Backyard Bible Clubs, but the Lord had a different plan for us today. Our word this week has been “flexible” and that is exactly what everyone was today, from the kitchen staff, to the bus drivers, to the students.
After breakfast, we broke in to various groups which consisted of construction, clothes distribution, cleaning apartments, serving the homeless, and cleaning up the soup kitchen. We worked in these groups all morning, and it was so neat to see everyone being so willing to serve wherever they were needed.
When lunch rolled around, we ate and then broke into groups again; one group stayed at Cornerstone to help with the clothes distribution closet and soup kitchen, and the remainder of the group headed to the Dallas Galleria for a few hours to relax and do a little shopping.
Jeff and Dan took the Seniors out for a special dinner tonight, while the rest of us ate yummy bar-b-que:) They had a great time reminiscing and hanging out on their last mission trip of high school.
The remainder of the night was spent cleaning and packing, wrapping up with a movie and lights out…everyone is so excited about going to Six Flags tomorrow that they probably wont be able to sleep:) As we travel there tomorrow and also begin heading home, please pray for safety. God has been so good to keep us safe while we have been here in Dallas, and just pray that He continues to do so. Guess I can’t end this one with “until tomorrow,” so I guess I will just say….cya…
