Mission Trip: Ranger in Austin

Recap by Ranger, "I got on a bus and we drove about 4 hours to get to a small church in Austin, Texas where we stayed. That night we figured out our mission trip groups and where we were serving. I was in a group with a volunteer named Devon as the leader. We served in an old people home called New Hope all week. Some things we did was help decorate for 4th of July, talked with the residents during meals, setup and ran activities for the residents, and helped keep the gardens they have in shape."

It sounds like they had a great trip! They stayed at Twin Lakes Fellowship Church in Cedar Park, TX and they had a fun evening on Tuesday at Austin's Park which Ranger said was really fun. Sounds like the group got along pretty well and I enjoyed seeing some videos of their Lip Sync Battle where Ranger and some other boys "sang" Parked By The Lake by Dean Summerwind. 

I was especially proud of JR because he had to leave for the trip on Sunday around noon right after we got back late Saturday night from our East Coast trip. He did this quick turnaround with a positive attitude. Thanks for serving others JR! We love you.
