Hey there folks,

We have a great group of 12 youth and 4 adults hanging out in Augusta, GA for the Jr High Home Works mission. We will be hear through Tuesday at lunch, spending 2.5 days working on 3 homes. We will primarily be painting, but also making some minor repairs (all age appropriate stuff).

Travel down Friday evening was pretty uneventful. We encountered some rain and storms, but we kept plugging ahead. We stopped for dinner at Chickfila in Augusta, and the group totally amused me with the girls on one side of the restaurant and the boys on the other!

It started storming again as we got our stuff settled, and it never really let up all evening. There was some gorgeous lightning! Amazing stuff. One group from TN was a bit late because of the storms and a wreck they stopped to help with. We played some games to kill time waiting on them, and then once they arrived we watched some safety and first aid videos made by youth at Good Shepherd. Funny stuff!

Unfortunately, I didn't really have much to take pictures of, but I promise the next post will have pics with it. The youth are doing great, and it is going to be a wonderful experience. Stay tuned!

blessings,
dorian
