Grundy Mountain Mission Days 3 and 4

Update Day 3 and 4

 Sorry everybody but the internet was down in our area yesterday so this update is for yesterday and today. Here are updates form some of our students and leaders about what they have been doing and where they have seen God. Enjoy and keep up the prayers!

Today I had an awesome experience getting to work the technology stuff for VBS. This in itself was fun and all but the really great thing was that I was behind everyone and got to see all of the kids standing together and worshiping God.

We have all been working hard in our projects here to help their school look better. All of the students that came with us from Parkside have been working so hard its almost surprising how great people are in their work. We only have one more day of work left so we are all very worn out but still ready to work.

Tanner Sotkiewicz talked to the group about how his first Cross Country season was amazing. He talked about that he started off the season not being able to keep up with anyone at all so he stopped the summer practices after just one day. He then started running again when the actual season started and began to break his own personal records. After about half of the season it turned out that he had qualified for the varsity cross country team which you could tell just inspired the kids to work hard and keep up with what they start with.

Today was a much sunnier day so we were able to have our second day of soccer camp out at the field down the road. There was an incredible amount of teamwork shown on both sides in the relay races that we started off the camp with. From there, we worked our way up through drills to an all-out-game where the Mountain Mission students made it obvious how well they work together. We are praying that tomorrow shows just as much improvement and god’s hand at work.

This morning we started off with an awesome devotion by the Sotkiewicz’s before heading out to do our projects.  It’s been so cool to see so many people, ages 14 months (Zeke) - ????,  all working together with  such amazing attitudes and amazing hearts…I’ve yet to hear any complaining. J From there we moved on to VBS.  Watching our students jumping up and down to “Oh Happy Day” with all the students from here was such a God sighting…. I’m still smiling at the thought of the energy that filled the room! We learned about the story of Esther and how she showed courage by speaking up for her people.  It was so cool to hear our student leaders share their stories of  the times when they have been courageous and have stood up for their friends, even when it wasn’t easy.  In turn, the Grundy students were anxious to share their stories.  We came to pour out love and blessings on these students, and yet spending time with them each day has been such a blessing to both, me and my family!
