Dirty and Smelly

Hi all!! We survived our first day of labor. We are working on an area for Living Witness that will be their new kitchen a dining facility. We had to remove 4” of dirt from the floor of the building and level it to get ready for concrete. We are also working on a house for a couple that works for Urban Impact owns. We will be scraping and painting the sides. It’s hot and humid and we all got dirty and smelly.

A lot of the guys from Nehemiah helped us and got just as smelly and dirty. It was great to hang out and bond with them, hear their stories. …They joined us in a prayer circle….God is so Awesome.

We are showering up for dinner and then are going to an extremely oppressed area with some youth that are down here also and conducting an Awana type program for the kids in that neighborhood. For the fist hour they just go and play with all the neighborhood kids. How fun will that be….

All of you back home would be so proud of our team…especially the youth! They have worked as hard as the adults!! Got some great photos today.

I took the youth to Reconcile Café for a break. It truly is a piece of heaven here on earth!!!

We are all tired, sore and sunburned. So pray for continued strength and God’s will!!

OH…..Leif decided to sleep walk in the middle of the night….form the top bunk about 10’ up (they are stacked 3 high)….God is faithful. He came away with a slightly bruised chin. He has been moved down to a lower bunk (don’t worry Jane!)

Wish you were here!!!!

Michele out!
