Our Student Body had a fundraising carwash at the Lutheran Church of Guam (LCG) this past Saturday. I'd have to say that not only was it a blast, but a pretty big success. They had a professional looking operation of people directing cars in, a team washing them, then a tent set up to dry and vacuum.
I got the Jeep washed and vacuumed as it needed it badly. We had spilled peanuts an
d other snacks on the inside, plus lots of sand and grass, and then the outside was a filthy dusty mess from all of our recent adventures. It looked great after and still does!
It was a lot bigger than I imagined it to be- almost every student from campus, even some commuters, came down to help out. Jayleen and some of the girls cooked us delicious chicken and rice (local favorite), and we got to take some small breaks on the beach out back.
The only thing I did to help was to hang out on the side of the road trying to cheer people into the parking lot. We had signs held up, dancing, jumping, and all kinds of crazy things. Rob wasn't sure whether that was attracting customers or scaring them away. Whatever it did, we had a great time doing it.
After we all cleaned up, some of our friends headed down to one of my favorite beaches to swim while the sun was setting. It was a great way to end a long day of hard work. I'm really proud of our students, and blessed to have some amazing friends here. I can't wait to see what we do next as a community.
