Day one... the full version!

As I promised earlier, here is the full version of our Sunday at Mission Arlington! After we left the church (on time, by the way), we had a very uneventful drive to Mission Arlington. We were thrown our first curve when we arrived, however. Instead of helping an existing Mission Arlington apartment church, we went to a place where Mission Arlington is hoping to have a church. We passed out fliers advertising the Rainbow Express we will be putting on there every afternoon and just talking to any residents who answered their door or were hanging out where we could talk. Later we had one girl come hang out and do church with us!

Once we left that location, we had lunch and went to pass out more fliers. I have to brag on our students (and leaders), as they did an incredible job. As of this morning we have passed out fliers at 4 different locations (more than I have ever done at Mission Arlington!). They really have not complained! they have drank a lot of water, and have endured this near record heat! They seem really prepared and expecting that God will do some really cool things this week! That is my prayer!

After passing out fliers, we went to worship with the Mission Arlington staff. They have incredible servant hearts and its a pleasure to be joining in a work that has been going on for over 25 years with them! After dinner and a team meeting, everyone was pretty tired and fell asleep rather easily! One other caveat that I have to share is that we are not staying at the place I put on your info sheet. We are now staying at Grace Community Church (right across the street from Fielder Road Baptist) on Cherry St. Well, our students are in the middle of their first Rainbow Express and I would like to join them, so I will end it here. More posts to come...

Every Kid,
