Happy 4th of July everyone! This week has really flown by so far and it has been truly amazing today to see the transformation that is happening within our group. It seems like every single day our serving groups keep getting closer and closer. There are so many cool stories and discussions that have been going on today. One of the students in my group had a real encouraging story with an elderly lady at a nursing home and she told him to make the most of his life and to not waste it. She encouraged him to keep serving people. He was really touched by what the lady said and made him see the difference that is made by serving other people. I can not brag enough about the students and their heart to impact this community as well as each other. There have been some great times as well as some hard times during our time here, but we are growing and experiencing all of this together. It is so cool to see this gospel community come to life. We were able to celebrate Independence Day by putting on a parade for many residents in a nursing home. It was great to see the smiles on their faces as we spent time with them on this holiday. We are now getting ready to eat dinner and will be going out later to see the fireworks. I hope you all are enjoying your Independence Day and continue to pray for our team. We have accomplished so many great things and God is really at work in this trip. Please pray that God would show up in a big way and continue to break our hearts and transform us. Our desire is to take this change back home and to love and serve our own community. Thanks for the prayers! We definitely feel them!
