Today it was still quite cold, but we woke up to a promising sun to lift our spirits from yesterday's gloomy snow. We started our morning at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary where our pastors are trained to be well... pastors! We sat in their chapel and toured the campus. They have a stunning campus inside and out! The sun and blue skies complemented the campus quite well! We also shared our time at the Seminary with the Croixaliers!

| Such a beautiful perspective from this photo! |

| We watched the Croixaliers perform a song in the chapel! |
After our fun morning outing, we headed back to Wisconsin Lutheran College for lunch and a tour!
 |
| On our tour, we sat in these swivel chairs that could turn 360 degrees! Maybe it's time for some St. Croix teachers to get some too? (*wink wink*) |
After our tour, we moved on to visit the Milwaukee Bucks Pro Shop. After that fun little pit stop, we drove to Grace Oasis, based in Salem Ev. Lutheran Church, a place for Christian fellowship for people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction to mental health issues. There, we helped them out by cleaning up around their church, packed food pantry boxes, and even served some dinner to attendees and then joined in on their fellowship full of tunes and all around conversation. God has truly blessed the attendees to go through recovery and find Him despite their ongoing hardships. Truly grateful that God gave us an opportunity to shed some light on them today!

| Packing the boxes in with plenty of boxed and canned goods! |
 |
| Hard work makes the dream work! |
 |
| Lots of trash was hidden in these bushes. Felt like we were treasure hunting when going through these brushes! |
 |
| Serving some delicious boiled cabbage, carrots, and potatoes to the attendees! |
 |
| Also served plenty of fruits along with some toasted bread and butter! |
 Our day came to a close once the singing and studying were over, but we enjoyed ourselves and our eyes were even opened after hearing many stories! God's blessings on all of them as their journey through life continues! Tomorrow we continue our trip at Lighthouse Youth Center! |
