This morning, most of the Youth Group work up and got moving. I say most, because one couldn't answer the bell. As soon as they (mostly) got up, Aaron and Kevin headed to the work site to get working on the bathroom, while Susan, Laura, Megan, and Danielle, went to Sonic to get a bite to eat. Once at Sonic, our women quickly realized that Josh wasn't with them. Apparently, Josh had missed all the commotion of waking up and was still sleeping in the tent. The girls went back to St. Clare's, woke Josh up and started their day.
The day involved mostly touch up work. They fixed a screen door, and grouted the tile in the bathroom ( I hope I said that right). Then Kathy, the homeowner, bought their lunch, and they all said goodbye. Apparently it was a very emotional farewell. Kathy presented them all with gifts. Susan and Laura each received an antique teacup and saucer that had survived the storm inside a curio cabinet. Everyone else received a DVD of the storm. They then went back to St. Clare's, cleaned up their sleeping areas, packed, and headed for home.
It's currently 9:53pm on Saturday, and the group is on the road somewhere between Waveland and Jefferson City. They plan to arrive home sometime tomorrow (Sunday) morning, attend one of the Masses at St. Peter's, and head home.
I cannot say enough how proud we should all be of this group. They went to Mississippi with the idea that they would help people in need, but will return with so much more. If you see one of them around in the next few weeks or months, you should thank them for doing such a great job in representing this parish and our Catholic Church.
