Thursday, June 22, 2017 - Thursday in Ohio

When we go on our Mission Trips, we are very serious about our intentions of spreading and sharing the Agape. Each day is another chance to be the light for someone else, to walk in step with the teachings of Jesus. Then there are the days just made for fun. Today was one of those.

We left the dorms this morning for the Camp Hi Canoe Livery for a lazy canoe float trip down the upper Cuyahoga River. Let’s be honest, our Youth Community does not have the best track record with water excursions. In years past, in Maine, in Boston it just wasn’t good, but not this year. A morning of floating and tipping, splashing and laughing. A great way to break up the day. After the trip and a sack lunch by the river we headed back to the dorms to change and head back to the farm for a little light work before supper. Every evening a different group takes charge of dinner prep and cooking and cleaning up. We all share in the duties. Afterwords we sang and wished Conner a happy birthday.

Tomorrow is our last day on the farm. It’s been a wonderful week so far and we expect the same of our last day of sharing, God willing.
