We had another day of sightseeing and swimming near Mt. Rushmore.
Then we reported to YouthWorks for our mission trip. We met the leaders of the site - Megan, Laura & RJ and the other family from Michigan - Rich, Joann, Zach & Faith. Our experiences were varied - painting and gardening in the morning and interacting with senior adults in a nursing home in the afternoon.
The second day we pulled weeds at a residential building and then worked at the thrift store in the afternoon. We enjoyed serving others and were challenged to see the people we served as the face of Christ. We were also learning what servanthood was all about. We enjoyed each other and had time for reflection and fun too.
Driving home, we had cloudy weather with a little rain. We decided to continue home instead of camping in SD another night. It was a long drive, but we arrived home safely.
