What a fantastic time I had on our College/Young Adult mission trip to John's Island, SC.! (yes exclamation points will be a staple for 2008!!!) I felt a little weird being a little outside of my comfort zone (I'm just a little outside of the College/Young Adult classification). As a matter of fact, we left on my "I'm not 40 yet" birthday (that's vastly different from celebrating your 2nd anniversary of your 39th birthday).
Being a little uncomfortable, and seeing that we would occasionally have an "incident of merit" such as Danny Howe hitting a stump and busting the entire entry door on the bus, or Sam Eastridge nearly losing a finger in the wood splitter, or Jarrod Suits lighting the most enormous fire work I have ever seen. I would occasionally tell the offending party that this would be "going in my report". As if there were someone who would care what was in my report!
So for all you who care ... my report is ...
We have the greatest group of college/young adults I've ever met!!! They gave up a large part of their Christmas Break, worked tirelessly through some very cold and windy conditions, ate food prepared by someone trained in the ministerial arts, and slept in conditions that make a dorm room look like a 5 star resort. They worked with insulation (one of my all-time dreads) and got stuck with the pointy ends of rabbit wire. And, I didn't hear one complaint, nor did I see even the suggestion that any of them were going to do anything that looked like something out of a college movie.
They were the best and I was privileged to be included.
BIT: You noticed the pictures mostly have a theme of eating ... out!
