It is night 2 on our Mystery Mission Trip. Today was a very long day filled with lots of travel, three mission stops, & a lot of tired people. (Kids and adults) We left Macon, MO at 7:00am and traveled to Columbia, MO. Our first stop was Woodhaven where we heard a presentation on their ministry and spent the morning landscaping two of their resident's homes. For lunch we had our "Random Act of Kindness Lunch" where we ate at a restaurant and offered to pay for a strangers lunch before our own. The kids were very frugal with their orders so they were able to give out extra random acts of kindness by blessing the waiters with generous and unexpected tips. This was very big of the kids since they could have kept the money for themselves.
We spent the afternoon at the Central Missouri Food Bank where we packaged bulk pasta into portions for over 6,000 people. Exhausting work, but rewarding. We are now at Webster Groves Christian Church in St. Louis, MO for the night. The kids have cooked a delicious meal of hot dogs and Doritos. (again, their choice) I bought some cherries, blueberries, and watermelon as a surprise for the kids - gotta get some nutrition in there somewhere!
I have a feeling the kids will be asleep earlier tonight - they are exhausted! Who knows what tomorrow will bring?!?!?
