Message from Josh
This week has been amazing. I just want to thank everyone who has helped with mission Charleston. I hope everyone going back to Curacao has a safe trip home and will be back here as soon as possible.
If you have pics of mission Charleston please put them on this group. If you could tag people in the pics too.
On the group, I asked everyone to share something that God has done during this week. Also, put on there other stuff that happened during the week so we can remember all of what happened.
This will also be a good place to put prayer request, updates about stuff going on, and things that God is doing in our lives after mission Charleston.
hope everyone has a great week! Josh

Day Three part 2
Okay part two of Day Three. How much do I remember.
I can remember the kids playing Over and Under, and Kickball.
Yesterday afternoon I overheated and got a migraine. I couldn't stay there fore I can't tell you much what happened. I bet it was a lot of fun. I really hate these things (the migraines), I miss out on a lot of fun stuff because of them.
Anyway after Backyard Bible group/ school the youth had a party at the beach. People got chased around by seagulls. And they had to leave when the storm popped up. The only reason I know this is my younger sister went.

Day Three Part 1
Okay, I have to apologize again. The reason this wasn't done yesterday is I left the Backyard Bible group/ school early yesterday with a migraine coming on and I went to bed early so I wasn't able to blog yesterday.
Today I worked again at the Dream Center and we had another group go to the Food Kitchen and work there. I worked in the food pantry at the dream center like I had Tuesday. Its somewhere I feel comfertable. I already know who I'm working with and I don't have to talk to them. I'm shy around people I don't know which makes it hard to meet new people untill I'm comfertable in that envirment.
Its easy to run out of things there because there are things they don't get a lot of and there are things they get a surplus of. Like canned tomatoes, they will never run out of canned tomatoes. When we ran out of all our other canned food we had to give them just canned tomatoes. I really hope they like tomatoes.
But I have a lot of fun doing this kinds of stuff.
