Guest Post Erin Rutt & Brooke Dienner:

This week has been a great week. We started out our week as just acquaintances, and ended up being like a big family.  We saw sides of people that you don’t see in just Sunday school and Youth Group. This week has been a really good experience and we would definitely relive it. Since the first day we knew we would have a good time, and we did. On the first day we prepped and stained the walls of the school house. As the week went on we finished up staining and started painting the trim white. We all did different jobs throughout the week, as for us we did lots of staining and weeding the gardens. After we finished working for the day we had a lot of free time to get to know each other. From about 7-10 was when we had time off. We used that time to do various things, as in, intense wiffle ball games, campfires, ultimate Frisbee, and eating WAAAYY too many freeze pops in the kitchen! On Thursday was our “vacation” day, we started out that morning by going into prayer groups with the staff and students at the Fold. Later the morning we headed to Crystal Lake to swim in the lake and have a picnic. We played lots of Frisbee, and kickball, and just hung out for the afternoon. That night, for dinner we went to a cookout at the girls home with everyone from the fold. We spent lots of time getting to know all of the kids and staff staying and working at the Fold which was a great experience. That pretty much sums up our week and puts all of our fun and hard work to an end. Coming to the Fold definitely changed our view of serving and what it is like to serve.
