Yeah, I know, the Colorado trip ended a week ago. But it looks like people are still checking out the updates here, and I know that kids are still actively sharing pictures and memories on Facebook. So I figured maybe it's not too late to share one last set of quotes from kids on the trip.

These were actually collected several days before the end of the trip. For for the last few days we were gone, either we didn't have easy access to a computer, or there were just too many other fun things going on. So here goes:

"We were working on two houses in a trailer park. On one, we had to prime the whole house and paint the outside. On the other one, we painted everything, put up dry wall and made new windows. It used to look run down and now it looks really good. It made me feel really good that somebody's going to live in that house and I helped build it."

"This week I've been working with this family with five kids, including a set of triplets. I got really attached to this one kid, Daniel, then I had to say goodbye to him, it was really sad. I was just sitting in my sleeping bag praying about that, and the song popped in my head, "You give and take away."

"I think I was placed at the Salvation Army and even more at the Food Bank for a reason, because I'm kind of shy, and it's hard to talk to people. So building a house wouldn't have been as much of a stretch, so God's plan fell into place for me to change."
- Adam Bridier
