Wow!! The past couple of days have just flown by. I have had so much going on since the moment I got here. I finally made it to Homestead and was introduced to my host family. They are great people! They have been very nice and have warmly welcomed me to their home. I am so lucky that they chose to be a host family this summer.

I am having a lot of fun and already I am being challenged to come out of my comfort zone. We are ministering to a group of unchurched kids in an area of Homestead. Most of these kids don't have the greatest home life and they live the only way they have ever been taught to live. They are in desperate need of someone to just love them for who they are.

I have already started to get to know some of the kids and have a relationship with them. We are having an activity tonight with the junior high and high school group that will be fun. This will be the first time since I got here that we have worked with that group of kids. I will tell you all about it in my next post.

Yesterday we worked with the middle school age group and just had a getting to know you time with the rest of the interns. It was a lot of fun and I got to know some of the kids.

Saturday we will be having an event called the Burger Bash. It will be a cookout and a basketball tournament for the kids in the neighborhood. We are expecting a very big turnout. Please pray that this event would go well and that we might reach out to some of these kids and show them the love of Christ.
