Blog Day 6 (7/20/17)

One of my favorite days yet. It was full of hard work, fun, and memories. We started off the day with breakfast as usual, and then we went to the local high school/elementary school to do some service. We planted some plants, vines, and trees, and we also filled some holes with concrete and organized their new library. We...
