I wanted to take a few moments to post on here a news article link about some pretty awesome kids. Not talking about Katie and Bree this time, I am actually talking about the youth at our church. Normally during spring break the youth take a ski trip to Colorado, but for the past two years they have decided to not go skiing but to go to Galevston TX and help those who have been devasted by Hurrican Katrina. We went last year to help a community just outside Galveston and they wanted to go back again this year seeing that there is still so many that need help in repairs. This year they were actually in Galevston. The article link below is a recap of their week, but I was told that they did have a typo in the artical. They stated the kids worked on 3 projects all week, but it was more like 7. That is what makes me so proud of these kids, they work so hard while they are there. They had 62 youth and 10 adults go on this trip. These kids could have easily stayed home and slept in all week for their spring break, but they didn't. They decided to go and serve others and to show God's love. Chris and I went last year with the kids and I can say that this is the hardest I have worked in a long time. It is an early to rise and late to bed, work muscle you didn't even know you had type of week. It is truly exhausting but so rewarding. To see the gratitude people have for the help we give is worth all of it. We hated that we couldn't go this year, but I am so looking foward to hearing all the stories Wednesday night.
