Hi this is Lilly, one of the youth on the Puerto Rico Mission Trip! Today we started our morning early with breakfast and morning prayer. In morning prayer we meditated on the 3rd verse of Psalm 23, “He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.” After our morning prayer we split into two groups. The group I was in went to one house nearby Senora Abigail home where we were the day prior. We began the first half of our work scraping and painting the front of the fence. We then went back to Senora Abigail’s to sit and eat our lunch. After lunch we went back to the house we were working on and finished the back of the fence and the front walls of the house.
Following our work day we took a pit stop at the pharmacy to pick up a few things we had ran out of. We then got back after what felt like the longest work day and relaxed by the pool. We then got all cleaned up and ate dinner. Instead of ending our night with compline we had a campfire in the woods. By the campfire we each picked a song and explained what it meant to us. After we each had said our songs, Jana and Cesar went into the town and picked us up s’more stuff!!
