Day 6 - A good day indeed!

The first part of today was spent sleeping in a little (we've been running on minimal sleep this week :)  When I say sleeping a little, I mean that three guys slept through breakfast, even though we tried to wake them before 10AM. In all seriousness though, we have been pushing 14-18 hour days since we arrived so the extra sleep was received with great joy! We then went up to Park City (home of the 2002 Winter Olympics) for a few hours. It was beautiful up there, and we had a sweet time together.

After visiting Park City, we went straight to Liberty Park for a free carnival for children and their families from 2PM-5PM. Again, our team did a wonderful job! I wish you could see them in action. They led carnival type games (as you'll see in the pictures). They painted faces for hours (it was a big hit). And they made balloon animals until they ran out! Many families were invited to Gospel Grace Church and the gospel was shared as well! It was really exciting to reach out to children and build bridges for the gospel. We trust God will use these efforts by His grace and for His glory. 

Tonight we got Chipotle, came back to the hotel and ate together. We truly love just "hanging out" together as a team. We then played in the pool together for a while...something we had not had time to do until this evening. 

We are VERY excited to worship with the believers at Gospel Grace Church tomorrow. It has been a great delight to serve alongside these dear brothers and sisters this week, and so it will be delightful to worship Christ with them tomorrow. Please pray that those who have heard the gospel and have been invited to Gospel Grace Church! Pray that they will come tomorrow and that they will respond to the gospel! 

Enjoy the pictures - I will explain some of them...but some of them need no explanation :) 


Thankful for the great group of students I am privileged to serve with -

 Lets just say that when your friends do your face paint, they don't always draw what they say they are drawing :)
