DAY 6 Houston Mission Trip

 Today we started off by meeting at Hope Lutheran Church (also called Hope in the Heights), which is currently operating out of a dance studio. We did some training for handing out new mover bags tomorrow. We enjoyed lunch at the dance studio and filled some eggs for the Easter for Kids event on Sunday. 






We also enjoyed some fun sightseeing around The Heights. This included shopping at MKT heights, going to a fun coffee shop called La La land, and the Houston farmers market. 










We went back to Nemmers to chill out with Lola for a while!! 



Then we went up to the Alford's house (friends of the Fuhrmanns) who hosted a pool party for us! We played some mean basketball games. That went on late into the night and now we are at our host families safe and sound. 







This is the Alford's dog, Roxi. She was the sweetest puppy. 


Finally, BeReal went off while we were traveling in the Mattek's van, who I've recently learned is named Reggie. He's the best. 

Another great day!

Thank you again to the Mattek family for letting us use your car for the week, it was very much appreciated :)  We got to the Airport, went through security and we shopped for some last-minute souvenirs. We flew out at about 4pm.  We flew into MSP around 6:40 and got our luggage around 7:30, it was a very long wait :(  6:45pm 7:30 As of right now though, I'm missing everyone on the trip or involved with the trip. Wishing I could be back in TX right about now :(  It's been...
