Yesterday was rainy day!!! We completed 2 more houses to run our total 10 and have 4 more started. God is really blessing us! One of the teams got their site finished and back to church before the rain came pouring down. The other 5 teams, including most of the West Oranger's, got drenched. Ponchos couldn't even have helped in this kind of rain!
Each night we come back to Baxter for dinner and then have some free time before a nightly devotional. They have a soccer court here, where the student try to get their soccer skills on! We have been spending some time playing Nerts, which could be the greatest game ever invented!
However the nightly devotionals are just fantastic! At the conclusion of each devotional, we open up the floor to anyone who would like to share. This time is called, "Where did you see Jesus today?" It really is amazing to hear students and adults share their perspectives. For example, last night Lindsay shared that she witnessed Jesus at their worksite through the family that was receiving the house. They had a broken down little shelter that they could have ran into to get out of the rain, but because the team was building the house in the rain that family, which included children, stood there in the rain and watched them build it. They could have sought comfort and shelter, but they wanted to show their love and appreciation. God is good!
Our students are doing so wonderful! You would be so proud of them all.
Friday, in addition to building houses, we are taking a group to the hospital to visit children. It will be another blessed day!
You are in our prayers! Thank you for being the hands and feet of God.
