Day off

Mission Trip – Day Off

Brian and Karen’s Group

Today we went together to Wal-Mart, and we bought a picture frame for our family. We have been helping them with their home and fixing it. We ate at the original KFC and it was so fun and tasty. Then we went to the water park and it was very moist, we swam in nice cool water and had a lot of fun. There where two water slides a blue one and a yellow one. The yellow one oooh it was so slow and dark but that was okay. The blue one you had to use a tube it felt like you were going to fall but it was really fun you should really try it out.

The lady our group is working for revealed that her favorite Bible verse is John 3:16. So, today we went to Wal-Mart and bought her a picture frame with two picture slots. In one of them we’re going to put a picture of her with our group, and in the other will put a picture of a rainbow that we saw driving down the road today above John 3:16. She also has grandkids that are very important to her. Bubbles are a fun and inexpensive toy that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages. We thought it would be a great gift. One of the kids is named Kenith, is 11 years old, and proved to be very helpful on the worksite. He was extremely eager to help, and very talkative. He told us that he played football, and so we bought him a new football and a pump. Lastly, at our worksite yesterday we took two spare pieces of wood, and nailed them together into a cross. Tomorrow we will paint it and write on it all of our names.

Today, the day off it was fun but it was kinda strange not being at the work site and sleeping in. The day was filled with hours of really exhausting fun starting at our journey in Wal-Mart finding the gifts for our families from there we headed off for lunch at the historic and interesting Original KFC (Sanders Café,) from there with bellies full of delicious chicken and sides we ventured to the fun “small” water park where we played, swam, laughed, and so on till we were tired. After we went to dinner to the all known Taco Bell not all went some to Wendy’s, weirdoes. After that we went back to Henderson Settlement tired and full. On the way back we road through a rainbow and saw two others.  It was quite interesting as we went through it started to rain but it rained side ways . After the long ride back we all were strangely filled with more energy and took pictures for the families in the strangely bright orange shirts.
