We all made it safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Some of the men went yo check out the construction jobs and the rest of us got the sleeping rooms figured out and set up. Pizza, devotions, bed
The morning routine included packing up all of our stuff (mattresses, luggage, etc) and storing them in a Uhaul truck all day.
The gym and classrooms we are in is host to about 80 low income kids for a day camp program. Several of our kids and adults served the program by playing with the kids and shopping for & cooking them an awesome lunch. For the kids this is their main (possibly only) meal of the day. Others from our group helped in their food pantry and also in the pre-school program.
The construction crews were extremely busy today. We are in charge of shopping for all of the materials needed on the job. We have some pretty involved construction jobs this year: total bathroom gut (floor & joists included); another bathroom & kitchen floor repair; a wheelchair ramp; a carport thingamabob; & some painting starting tomorrow.
Hey, guess who showed up today? Keith and Marrita!!!! They couldn't stay away! (That and I begged them to come!). Keith's knowledge has already saved one job and he will be looking at a different one in the morning.
God is definitely here and active with our group! We are studying Colossians 3:12-17 and talking about how those words are applying to our lives this week.
No, not everything has gone exactly according to my plan or what I thought we would be doing, etc....but it sure is a good thing that it's going according to Gods plan! It's through adversity that we grow, and just like any mission trip...we seem to grow a lot!
We'll I'm sure I will grow a little more tomorrow! But in the meantime here are a couple of pics for ya
