Last night's devotion went very well, with singing and sharing. We discussed servanthood with Garry and Jesus' example of washing his disciples' feet. Worship was led by Hilliary and Tim. After testimonies and prayer, we all spent time with family and friends. And a good game of Mexican Train Dominoes!
Relaxing after the recreation camps!
We had another great day today! Starting out with a Shoney's qualified breakfast! Sandra spent all night broiling bacon for everyone this morning! Jean made some fabulous, and fluffy, pancakes! Priscilla (Leona) scrambled up some delicious eggs. Cindy and the crew are AWESOME! They have put a lot of thought into feeding over 60 people 3 meals a day this week! We are so thankful!
The construction crews woke up bright and early to get back on the job! The group at the Baptist Community Center are still working hard on the windows and are starting to build storage shelves for Pat to organize quilts for the Women's Bible study and for the children's school supplies!
We caught Seth making sure Phil uses the skill saw correctly!
The Friendship House construction crew is cleaning up the playground and starting to paint the swing set and jungle gym!
The recreation crews were hard at play today with all of the children at the centers!
The Community Center group played games, used the big parachute, and were having fun with some pool noodles! Around 30 kids came to the Center today! The children are still rowdy but we love them!
At the Friendship House, the same kids came to play! We played with hula hoops, frisbees, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk! Keep praying for the kids in the neighborhood and around these areas!
Today, Joye's women's Bible study doubled in size! Yesterday: 3, today: 6!!! They continue to enjoy fellowship and a noon meal!
We have met these WONDERFUL Roanoke firemen! They provide us with free ice for our coolers. They are so kind and friendly! We see them about twice a day.
The weather is still warm, but bearable! Speaking of bears... A bear cub was sited around the neighborhood close to the Community Center!
Thank you all for your continuous prayers and thoughts! We are making GREAT progress in all aspects of our trip!
Love & Blessings!
You all rock!!! We will continue to pray for each and every one of you and for the lives that you are touching through Christ. Loving this blog so that we can keep up with your progress!
