FBCH Youth, July 30, 2012

July 30, 2012

Wow! In this first day of hard work, each of the eight FBCH youth shared how they were impacted today. 

Lyda stated that she initially had a difficult beginning of the day but then she received help from the other team member and that energized her.  Her hard work paid off at the end of the day when one little girl finally hugged her at bedtime. 

D.Z. was thankful for the adult leaders and for being able to learn about God from those that he came with. 

J.W.…well she changed a whole lot of diapers

M.J.  One word, Beans.  She was also willing to change assignments with another team member.  She loved to wash the children’s play mats because it gave her a chance to play with water. 

M.M. - Today’s work was different and overwhelming.  She just doesn’t do dirty diapers.  However, she gained an understanding of people who migrate to the USA without knowing any English.  She can relate to the difficulty of learning a new language in an unfamiliar place. 

L .J. was as amazed that the children were happy with just running around outside.  He explained that it took so little for them to be excited about the simplest things. 

D.L. was amazing that they were all working together and got a lot done even though they spoke different languages. 

R.H.’s favorite part of the day was trying to feed the children.   He tried to feed one child in particular who would not eat anything given by him.  When the Nanny came and took over for him, the child ate easily.  Reggie jokingly wondered what he did wrong. 

The most memorable part of today was the work with the boys.  They did an amazing job pouring concrete into the floor of a home.  They were so helpful and excited that everyone spoke about their positive attitude.  They were even competing to see who could do the most or the hardest work.
