Today was the first day of our mission trip to Fort Worth. We're working with the Como Community Center here. We left this morning at 6:15, not-so-bright and early. Luckily our drive wasn't as long as our past trips (14, 16, 17 hour drives). We arrived at the community center and waited for the kids to arrive. We were exhausted, but extremely excited! We sang silly songs with them, and after about 5 songs we had to get out of our cool shells. (There were some kids who were not participating). We sang more songs, played different games, and just spent time with the kids. Today's project was working in the community garden. It was really interesting at times. But this was the perfect opportunity to get to know the kids early in the week. I met a girl who wants to be a singer, she's going to a performing arts school next year. I also met a little girl named Ananiah. She's so sweet and fun! After lunch we went and played more games with the kids until 3 whenever their parents came and got them.
Today was exhausting, but absolutely amazing! These kids are going to change my life this week. I am pumped.
