The Fold Day 5

Posted: June 24, 2016 by keystoneyouth in The Fold

Overview of the Day:

  • Today was our last day here at the Fold.  Yesterday we took the day off from working and went to a local lake to swim and hike.  We also had a cookout with some of the Fold staff last evening.  We spent today digging out the rest of a 1,000 gallon oil tank and doing some painting and cleaning inside of the building.  This evening we spent some time talking about the week by sharing our highlights and what we think we will remember about this trip five years from now. I will remember two main things about this trip: 1) The team bonded really well and spent most of the trip together working, eating, and playing games.  It didn’t seem like people split up into groups to do their own thing, but rather stayed together and enjoyed being together. 2)  I will also remember that this team worked really well together throughout the days.  They didn’t jump from job to job or stop working when they got tired, but they stuck with jobs until they were finished.  Not only that, but they had a good time while they were working.  They talked, asked ridiculous “would you rather” 

    questions, and laughed during most of the work days.  I really enjoyed being a part of this team and I’m going to take home a lot of good memories from this trip.

Highlights of the Day:

  • Catching a groundhog in one of the groundhog traps that we set earlier today.  We watched the groundhog go into the trap and then cheered as the trap snapped shut on it:)
  • Sharing the things that we will remember from this trip and remembering all that’s happened this week.
  • Devotions with one of the staff this morning who shared her story of how she ended up here and how God has been incredibly faithful and good in her life.
