Day 5- Back to work in Rapid City!

Well we are back in Rapid City and began our first of two service days in the community. We split the entire group into two teams and ventured off to serve at two different ministries. Team A (Led by Kyle and Ashley) headed to Cornerstone Rescue Mission (http://www.cornerstonemission.org/). While they were there they helped sort and fold clothes to be used in a thrift store, helped clean the thrift store, took a tour of the men's homeless shelter, and served a meal for those who came for lunch. Group B (Led by Dan, Eric, and Adam) served with Habitat for Humanity at their ReStore Outlet center(http://blackhillshabitat.org/). This group helped install a drainage pipe that they had to dig a trench for, some helped unload a semi truck full of supplies so that they could reorganize the truck, while others helped clean overgrown grass and shrubs to tidy up the appearance of the Outlet center. The hardest project of the day was removing 14 tree stumps that were located just inside the retaining wall in the picture above. We dug, chopped, and used all the muscle we could muster up to conquer those stumps and we came out victorious. It was definitely the hardest physical project that group of students had seen so far this week. Tomorrow the plan is to switch locations and experience the other work site.

Team A consisted of Katerina Newman, Kayla Bass, Noah Switalski, Tyler Gabrielle, Tommy Mallow and Ashley Riemer
Team B consisted of Elise Almer, Julia Dennis, Austin Merritt, Jacob Van Dyke, Albert Reyes, Josh Granger, Kevin Esposito, and Dan Riemer
