Monday Update

The four amigas.... 1. Kylee Thiner 2. Jess Bergren 3. Sydney Allen 4. Kate Haven


Monday was one of the best days I have ever had. I got to paint a church here! It was sooooo....messy, but fun. It is sooo amazing to see how God is using us, also how different people are reacting to our work here in AZ. Its my first mission trip! One of the Best things of the day was spilling a gallon of paint in the van, and spending three hours in the car wash with K.J, my dad (greg), and Jeff Kennel wiping off all the paint. That's about all that happened in my day. IT ROCKED!!!! I met my four amigas

We had so much fun today! Kylee and I went to the church and painted, along with the other dos amigas. We had paint handprints on our jeans from people throwing paint at us. It was pretty funny. The pastor of the church (Will) came by a couple times and was amazed by the amount of paint we put on the walls. (2 coats baby!) We had tons of fun making jokes and builing friendships. At the end of the day, Janelle and Kyle had a kinda surprise birthday party, and it was awesome. Yummy ice cream and we basically sang a book of songs at the end. I felt so connected to God while we were singing: the Holy Spirit was so there. With everyone singing, it was amazing!

Today was really fun. I met new people and made new friends. We started off the day painting a church. It was soo much funn :). We got the work done in no time at all.People that came to see our work were very surprised to see how much a bunch of teenagers and two adults got done painting so much in so little time. At the end we kinda had a paint fight with some of the other guys that were also there helping. Jess and i made hand prints on our pants lol hahhahhah. Now I cant wait for tomorrow to go back and finish painting the room. With Love,

My name is Kaitlyn Haven and I am Sydney's cousin who lives in Arizona. Today was a really fun day. I met alot of new people such as Jess, Kylee, and Courtney. When I went to the church to help paint, my Auntie Janelle tricked everybody by saying ",This is navajo chocolate" when it was really a normal Sneaker Bar. When we went back to the church we got ready for a surprise birthday party.When my Auntie Janelle came in, she was surprised. After that we ate navajo tacos for dinner. Then we cut the cake and ate it. Afterwards, we sang songs. Then everyone went home.
