A Story from Sydney

I forgot to include this in my earlier post, so here is an experience from Operation Hydration that Sydney (far right) thought was cool (in her words):

"Me (Sydney), Karen the Brave, Tyler, and Nick walked up of course with water in hand, to a bunch of (3) guys. That quickly narrowed to two. Steven and Syneca. Steven was born in Oregon and made his way to Houston because of a bad marriage, and he lost his job. He was thankful for the water and Karen the Brave prayed for him. Next me, Hillary, Tyler, and Nick started to talk to Syneca. Syneca was very open to anything and was more concerned about what our dreams and goals are for the rest of our adulthood than himself. So we proceed to tell him. We told him how we took a test that would determine what job would be best for us and when we told him, he cut us off mid-sentence and told us not to listen or care about what a test tells us but what we dream of doing and what we want to do. He was very thankful that a group of kids would just take the time to hand out water and talk to him. He is/was impressed and proud of our church group. And so are we."
