I won't write much tonight because I am absolutely exhausted! I'm not used to this intense heat or physical labor. I guess you could say that I'm spoiled and I like it that way.
This morning began with a breakfast of scrambled eggs and grits prepared by Jo. Then we headed to the job sites on Carnot and Bruxelles. On Carnot, we did more scraping and puttying and then we did more scraping and puttying . . . On Bruxelles the crew hung more drywall. The lady who owns the home and her daughter visited today and were very pleased with the progress being made. This afternoon everyone worked on the Carnot house. The highlight of our day was when we heard music coming from the ice cream truck!!!!!!! Alex ran down the street to catch it for us, and we all had an ice cream treat!
Tonight's evening meal was provided by the congregation at Westside Christian Church and consisted of taco soup; spinach salad with cranberries, almonds, and feta cheese; homemade French bread, and chocolate cake. DeAnna, the minister from Westside Christian Church, and Dr. Larry led us in devotionals and we discussed where we saw God today. Jon Daniel then took us to the sanctuary of the church and gave us information about how the church was damaged in the storm and the rebuilding of the church.
Tonight's pictures show the mission center. The bunk beds are comfortable, the air conditioning works very well, and the showers feel great after coming in from work hot, sweaty, and covered in drywall dust. Will you consider joining us on our next mission trip to Westside? You will be blessed while blessing others.
Where did you see God today?
Wish I was there.. Great job ..Donna Speck
