We are having an awesome time in Niagara Falls so far. All the students are having a lot of fun with everyone from our group and the other groups. Our stomachs have hurt numerous times because of all the laughter! It is great to see the fellowship happening. Last night we went to a local orchard that was one of the last stops for many slaves looking for freedom in Canada. They had a tons of homemade jelly that the students are bringing home to you. Last night we had a great talk about stepping in like Jesus.
Today was our 3rd work day and a lot of teams transitioned into another work site. Many served landscaping, serving meals on wheels, sorting and cleaning thousands of sandals that get donated to a those less fortunate in Africa, and much more. The students are getting to know a ton of people in this community. They have had the opportunity to hear and listen to their stories. We have learned a lot about this community. One crazy statistic is that 75% of this community is under government assistance. Some work sites are going so well that Kristopher Jermany told one lady "thank you for letting us tear up your house." They were ripping up 60 year old flooring to get to the original hardwood underneath.
Tonight we are going to a local church service in downtown Niagara Falls.
