Okay!So I have given into the advice of starting a blog, well, I already had one because I had to set this up for my computer science class. I just wanted the people who wanted updates on Houston to be able to read this because I wont be able to communicate as frequently as if I would be able to if I was at home.
So Houston! I love it here already and I have only been here a week. The moment I stepped into MCH I felt like I had been here forever! The staff here is amazing and so are the other summer missionaries!! Especially the girls :) We have two house parents (Mr.Wayne and Mrs.Glenda) The provide all of our meals and are here to keep is in line ha ha! They are so awesome and the cutest people you'll ever meet! Ginger is the director here and she is super awesome and is living evidence that God shines His light through others.
There are three centers: Gano, Fletcher, and Joy. I am assigned at Gano and that's the center that does kids, pre-teen, teen, and senior adult ministries. They also do yard work in the community and have a food bank. I am super excited to get into the ministries!This week has been all about training and bonding as a team. On our second day Gabby the Clown (who is also the MCH secretary) taught us how to make balloon animals. That was super fun! We also went to a Mexican bakery this week and I got like a whole bag of goodies for less than 5 dollars!
You can tell that this community is grateful for any sort of attention and love and affection they get. Its an awesome community that is desperate for God and I'm hoping I can be a part in bringing that here. The second night we were here Mrs.Glenda took us to the walking track and we saw these kids playing soccer. We really wanted to interact with them, so we asked them if they wanted us to play with them. Here we are, these girls and boys who suck at soccer playing a game with these kids and I don't know who had the most fun, us or them!
I am just so blessed to be a part of the ministries here this summer and cannot wait to see what God is going to do here this summer!
