We had a great day yesterday!! We attended two worship services, went on a scavenger hunt, played games, had a Bible study, and much more.
Each day, one support group will write their thoughts on the previous day. Today the Super Spurs will be posting:
Matt Day:
Yesterday we had a good time going to church, playing games, and going on a scavenger hunt. We first went to St. Luke Cumberland Presbyterian Church and had a tour of the building. After that we went out to lunch at Rosa's Mexican restaurant. Then we came back to the church where we're staying and played games and learned what we would be doing this week. We then left and went to the 6:08 church service at 1st Prespertyrian church.
Emily Ghianni:
Our arrival to Texas was amazing. We got here and unpacked everything then got settled in and went over the schedule for Sunday. OMG! Sunday was better than Saturday. The suprising part was the heat. I know Texas is hot but I did'nt know it would be above 100 degrees! So we first went to church service at St Luke Cumberland Presbyterian - then we went to eat at Rosa's Cantina then went back to the church gym we are staying at and had some free time and met our sponsor, Kate. We had a lot of fun getting to know her. Then we headed out to a cattle stockyard and played a scavenger hunt. We should know the results by tomorrow. After that we had a delicious dinner made by a Sunday school class at the church we were staying t. Then we went to another service which I really enjoyed. Finally, we came back and had some more fun, then went to bed reading a very nice letter from Ms Rhonda. I hope the rest of the week goes so good. Keep reading and remember the Super Spurs are the best group!

You could easily spot the bright yellow mission trip t-shirts bobbing in and out of the tourists milling about The Stockyards as the youth hustled to find items for the scavenger hunt. It was a joy to see, knowing the kids were filled with purpose and having a great time as they gathered facts and photos to complete the task. Every one of the youth have been polite and courteous in each setting they've entered. I am very proud of them.
Gina Wattenbarger:
Well we made the trip safe and sound. We have met some wonderful people at the church services that we attended. I have to say we have a great group of youth kids. It is really hot here so we're making sure everyone has plenty of water. Now we're off to our first day of work. I know it's going to be a wonderful experience. I feel blessed to be a part of this mission we are on.
Colleen Winslow:
We started off our first full day in Texas by going to a church service. They had a more contemporary way of doing things, so it was interesting to see how they worshipped. I really enjoyed it. Then we went on a scavenger hunt in the cattle stockyards [where they hold live cow auctions]. The hunt included finding different stuff in on the street and getting your picture taken while square dancing with a stranger. It was SO hot!! But it was really fun. We came home and had dinner that was made by the sunday school class from the church we are staying at. It was so good! We played games and then went to bed. We had a great day yesterday and I'm looking forward to the rest of this week!
Ashley Leisure:
Sunday: We got 3hr of sleep the night before. All of us had to wake up before church service, and then walmart. And then we had to go to a stockyard it was really, really hot. I did not like it at all! But it was fun and then another service.

Hi Everyone.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the Super Spurs had a great day Sunday...the Stockyards sounds like great fun. Ashley, hang in there and I hope you get more sleep tonight. You'll be fine.
Quiet day here at church. I think everyone is worn out from VBS. I know I took two naps on Saturday and one on Sunday. I treated myself Sunday night to a movie, the new Sandra Bullock movie...very cute!
Penni and I are working on the special VBS edition of the newsletter, so I'm looking thru pictures and remembering how much all of you did. Thank you again. Two of the visitors to VBS, Patrick and Sydney, came to Sunday School yesterday, so that was very nice.
Sunny, hot and no rain here...which I guess is what you have.
Take care and someone give Matthew a hug for me. Miss him and all of you very much.
Love, Miss Cheryl
Hello Youth Rocks,
