Day 348-GAME TIME!

Saturday, May 9th

Hey guys,

      Today is the day that I and so many other youth and leaders have been working towards not only all this week, but for MONTHS, we have been planning for this. It's yard sale day!!!! YIPPEE!!!! All day today we had a flow of people, from the time we opened the doors at 7, to the time we closed down at 12. It has just been awesome to see ALL our hard work and planning pay off! What's been even cooler, though, is to see the dedication and work ethic of these students. Most students were up by 5:30 at the very latest, and were at the church by 6:30, ready to go, they did not leave the church, or stop moving for that matter until 4 o'clock that afternoon. As we all became more and more exhausted, the students attitudes actually got better! There was no complaining, no "I'm so tired, I want to go home." but there were high school kids being self-motivated, and working together as a team to get this done well, and get it done fast. These kids are just AWESOME, no matter how tired they are, they don't stop. In fact, at one point in the day, one of the students wasn't feeling very well, but she refused to sit down and rest, when we finally did get her to sit down, she fell asleep in 5 minutes, THAT'S how tired we all were! At the end of the day, I'm proud to say that we made over 3 thousand dollars, and we're actually ahead of where we should be for fundraising!

<3 Always,
Rose
