starting our last day

In two minutes I'm supposed to bout at our morning gathering with the Samaritan's Purse volunteers. The two songs at the beginning are always a bit hard to get into cause of the early hour, but we also get some encouragement, announcements, and we're off to the busses that take us to our assignments.

It's our last day working - wow.

My team will be trying to finish the biggest house on the block today. We sorta don't think we'll make it by the end of the day, but we want to try. We've gotten the walls torn out in the front of the house and kitchen, but there's still serious rubble in two back rooms and a garage.

  • Thanks to Chris for this awesome "photo journal" of your week!!
    But most importantly, thanks to all those who became true servants in whatever capacity they served this week!!! You showed God's love in your love for others with servant's hearts the way that God desires all of us too, with true sacrifice! What may seem like a little thing in the scope of this disaster is a BIG thing for Christ! So don't feel sad about anything that was left "undone" Thanks again for planting seeds of hope and getting your hands dirty!!!!!!!
    Prayers for a safe trip home, may God provide sunshine all the way back to the snow in Champaign/Urbana :)
