The youth have an annual tradition of having a "garage sale" as a fundraiser for our mission trips. They ask the congregation and anyone else they know to donate to the cause. We start setting up midweek and normally we are still working into the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.
Set up is always crazy! They find treasures that they just can't resist using as a photo op - such as this bathing suit cover up. At one point, both the girls were in the shirt together! Sometimes it's a challenge to get them to keep working but they certainly have a lot of fun!
By some miracle, we were done setting up AND pricing by 9:30pm on Friday night so we walked over to Zona Rosa for some frivolity.
A member of our church owns the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and she invited us all over for a free ice cream. Yum!! It was a beautiful evening and the walk did us good!
Who knew there would be so many places in Zona Rosa to create crazy pictures? It was fun to see the youth group having so much fun together. Since the garage sale is a required event if you want to attend the mission trip, most of our youth participate.
I am so proud of the youth and their commitment to the mission trips. They not only work hard ON the mission trip but they work hard in order to get there!
Have you ever wondered how many high schoolers you can fit in a British phone booth? They may know how to work hard but they certainly know how to play hard, as well.
I can't imagine any job that comes with such variety on a day to day basis and I certainly can't imagine one that comes with so much laughter!! I love working with the students at Pine Ridge. They make me laugh and they keep me young! I thank God for the opportunity to serve in ministry with them.
