We started this wicked sweet Sunday by sleeping in to a whooping 8 o'clock (6 for Dan and Skarda)! After a few delays we finally got breakfast at Ihop around 11 o'clock. We then found our wonderful rented car had the tire pressure light on. After a fantastic phone call to enterprise they had us take it to Tire Kingdom; while we were waiting for it to be inspected we met a couple from Mississippi (for a wedding) who was interested in what we are doing. We told them we were from New Hampshire and down here to help rebuild through Camp Restore. They thanks us for coming down to serve and even thanked us with a small donation. Turns out our vans tires were OVER inflated... Enterprise FTW (For the win*)!
ZOO TIME!!! With freshly deflated tires we ventured to the fabulously famous fun faring Audubon Zoo (i think... w/e). We saw zebras, bears, elephants, Alligators, yellow cars, 2 headed snake, tigers, chameleons, flamingos, lions, cougars, llamas, rhinos, raccoons, little kids, old people, jaguars, misting fans, and a few AC exhibits, ALL IN 100 degree weather (in the shade)!
We then teleported back to base... We then attended our first worship service then dinner was served (some though skipped dinner to play some ball).
During our nightly devotion we then determined that:
Sin=darkness
Jesus=light
Light>darkness (John 1:15)
therefore in our expert opinion we concluded that in fact
Jesus > Sin
We are looking forward to beginning our week of service tomorrow!
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

This is definitely a gantor post lol. After kind of a rough but interesting start, I think you guys are going to have a great week serving people who really need the help and also need the reassurence that people still care. Wait till they see that it's teens and young adults that have come to help them. Let me tell you, it really blows them away to see kids give up part of their summmer to help strangers. You guys are doing awesome work and I pray that the rest of the week goes smoothly for you. Be safe everyone! Christine
