Youth Community Mission Trips: Wednesday, going downhill

Wednesday brought more hot weather, it seems to be a theme here in Atlanta. We are all watching out for each other, being careful to get plenty of water and taking shade breaks for those working outside.
Today we again helped out at Action Ministries with the woman's lunch program. Today's meal was provided by an Atlanta law firm that has done so for more than 20 years, once a week. Our two other teams made a visit to the Berea Mennonite Farm where they still had plenty of tasks for us to do. The never ending work of the farm has kept us busy. Today though was a shortened work day for us. After the morning work sites we came back to our home base to clean up and head out to The World of Coca Cola at Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta. There we took some well deserved R & R and learned about one of Atlanta's claims to fame, Coca Cola! It was a lot of fun. Afterwords we walked though Centennial Park to the CNN tower and the food court.
What a week it has been so far. Making discoveries, making friends and making memories. Our community has become very close in our shared experiences. It is inspiring to see just how quickly the freshman have been welcomed and valued members of our circle in only a few days. We've celebrated birthdays and supported each other as our bonds of trust grow. What will tomorrow bring? If we listen, God will tell us.
