Woodland Hills

Day 3- Today was the first day of our labor project! I think all of us on the team can agree that it is difficult but we all threw our hearts into it and worked hard. We all felt pretty good after, if a little sore! After lunch we were invited to the staff meeting. We worshiped and prayed together, it was a truly amazing experience and we could all feel God's presence. After dinner, the majority of our group joined in a volleyball game. It was great to interact with young kids as well as teenagers. We really came together as a group by being on a sports team together. We were lifted up by each other as well as the kids and crowd cheering everyone on. After the game a few of us got a little but crazy with some of the kids. They played with us, took our shoes and showed us things like crickets. It was fun to interact with the younger boys as if we had known them all of our lives. Already it seems as if we have been here for a year rather than just a few days. I'm so excited to keep working hard and playing my heart out among there young people who have already taught me so much.
Hasta maƱana, Lily Eggers
