The girls called today while my mom and I were eating at Bojangles. Morgan started the conversation. They are both doing well, but have not been able to do a lot of work in their new location. Evidently the person they are working with is taking charge and in their words using "old -fashioned preaching." They just sit there and pass out stuff when she asks them to. Morgan enjoyed her free day shopping and she said she's getting pretty good at "bartering" for goods. Morgan also said that she really misses home. She actually admitted that she misses working out and playing sports!
Tara talked for about 30 seconds then the phone card ran out of time. She called back in about 5 minutes. She said many of the people on her team had shared some concerns about the teaching style of the person in charge at the school and hopefully the Teen Mania Leadership will be able to get the kids more involved. They are spending much of their time just sitting and listening while the leader "preaches." They want to get involved with the kids!
On a brighter note, Tara's Project Director asked her if she would consider being a team leader next summer. He spoke of how much he appreciated her leadership qualities. When she told him she wasn't old enough, he seemed shocked. He said they would waive the rule for her! She's a natural leader, of course I already knew that.
The girls have a few more days of ministry and then they will go on a two day safari. They will get to stay in a nice lodge during their trip. They are both looking forward to it. They are holding up well.
