Roads are closed....Now what?

We had breakfast this morning and then we set out on our way! When we started out everyone was excited and so was I! As we got closer to our destination we found out the road we were supposed to take was CLOSED! I was leading and all I knew to do was follow the GPS. We followed it and took quite a scenic tour of downtown DC. It took a little longer than planned, but everyone thought it was cool that we got to see all the sights. When we got there Ms. Rosa was at dialysis, so we started on all the outside work. My campers are great workers! They were excited and just jumped out there and got started on their tasks. It was hard for me to keep them busy. All went well though. We are working on several things. We are scraping and sanding fences and repainting them we are scraping and repainting steps and handrails. We are repainting her kitchen. We cut the grass and cleaned her yard up quite a bit. We also are fixing some storm doors and re-caulking windows. Overall we have a lot to do this week for Ms Rosa!. She is so so sweet! One of my campers who is about to be a freshmen watched All My Children for an hour with her today! It was so funny! After work was over for the day we cleaned up and headed back to the church. We had about an hour and a half before dinner, so I caught Sarah, Stacey, and Sofia up on my day and they caught me up on theirs. We headed up for dinner that was cooked by some sweet ladies of the church! They just volunteered their time for us! It was great. After dinner we got all the campers to the YMCA to get showers. My group went first, so I was the first to encounter the YMCA staff. We had problems of course...The YMCA staff said we could not shower until 7:30 and we were there at 6:45. They also said we could only go three at a time when they have about 8-10 showers! I called Stacey and in the mean time started sending my campers to the shower. Stacey immediately got on the phone and started to figure out other shower options for the rest of the week. Keep us in prayer that we will find a better place to shower! We got everyone showered and headed back for worship. We had wonderful worship and then as the groups were having group time we snuck away to get ice cream. We got back and hung out with the campers for a bit and now it is time for bed!
