SH OutPour Day 2


Day 2
Greetings! Today on our Sr. High OutPour we woke up, ate breakfast, (burritos again, of course) and headed off to the WHWC. We finished the garden boxes that we started yesterday, and in my (slightly biased) opinion they are very well put together, and they look pretty nice too. They even have wheels! While some of us were working on the boxes, others were inside (in the wonderful AC) touching up and repainting some walls. Let’s just say we had some pretty awesome bonding moments, and I may or may not have gotten more paint on myself than the wall… All in all it was a great workday! Now we are cleaning up and looking forward to a night on the Riverwalk and some (hopefully) delicious barbeque! –Cate Ghormley

Day 1 SH OutPour - San Antonio


Day 1 - Report from the field
Today on Sr. High Mission trip we woke up to a wonderful cooked breakfast of burritos made by the girls then headed to Wesley Health and Wellness Center where we organized a HUGE room of donations and created mobile garden boxes for Wesley Health and Wellness Center. Upon arrival we realized that the Wellness Center was not just a small building where we would be cramped and crowded, better yet it was a large multi-room building that seemed to be the one-stop place for all of ones needs. WHWC (Wesley Health and Wellness Center) reaches out to thousands of people on a regular basis. We received a tour of WHWC from the director that has helped us know what to do throughout the trip and learned that they provides dental, medical, financial, and social help to many individuals so that they could live a healthy life. We ended our night by eating some wonderful fajitas and having some fun fellowship. WHWC is more than a medical office it is truly a building that God placed and supplied perfectly so that all of his wonderful people could receive help and share his word throughout the world. We had a wonderful day and look forward to painting and finishing the boxes tomorrow! –Brooke Illig
