Today, started off with the group going to Urban Ministries, Inc. in Durham, North Carolina. Urban Ministries is an organization that provides food, clothing, and shelter for the homeless. The group was assigned to paint the walls of the men’s shelter. Many of the group members did not have experience with painting, so this was a learning experience. Hey, has anybody seen Darius??? Moving on, the group did a very good job at painting.

After the mission, we as a group grew tired, and decided to go back to our rooms until the barbecue. We barely made the barbecue, but after two hours we finally did. Some of the foods at the barbecue were fish, baked beans, hamburgers, and a lot of other delicious dishes. The barbecue concluded and the parade of nations started. Our family groups, similar to care groups, were broken up by different nations that Lott Carey represent around the world. The parade of nations was lead by the Helping Hands Missions Band (the same group, who we served on missions for on Monday). Hmmm… Did anybody see Willie, lead the band??? LOL!!! (Inside joke)

The last night, here at Lott Carey was concluded with an Evening Concert and Communion Service. Several youth performed a drama skit that captured the attention of the audience. The skit included the important messages of redemption, responsibility, and reconciliation. The skit provided laughter to the youth and chaperons about real live issues. After the skit, the choir transitioned into ministering. For the youth of Lott Carey, only to be here for such a little time, the choir sounded good. The choir ministered several songs, before the guest soloist from Bermuda performed. She performed several songs as well. During this time of her performance, she miscalculated how far back she was on the stage and she fell off. Luckily, she was ok. She quickly got up, without any help, hence the saying “we fall down, but we get up.” LOL!!! God does have a sense of humor in the aftermath. Before, we sign off on the last full day at Lott Carey. Please, remember that you can’t have real love without honesty. (White Lies!!!)
