Thanks for all the comments so far! The students love to hear from you!
Where has this week gone?
I cannot believe that when I wake up in the morning (about 5 hours from now
because I have to run to the grocery store and buy some more cereal before breakfast
because all we have left is some raisin bran crunch and cheerios) it will be Friday
and our last day working on Ernie and Linda’s home. My prayer for us tonight is that God will
give us the strength and stamina tomorrow to push through and keep our energy up
to either finish our projects or leave them at a spot for the group coming in
next week to pick up where we left off.
I was very proud of our students today when Ernie and Linda
told me that this was the nicest group of teenagers that they have ever met. Ernie and Linda still can’t get over the idea
that they would give up a week of the summer and work for free, but they are so
thankful for the work that God is doing in their lives and that they were in
fact willing to come and be in service this week. When we were packing up for the day today
Ernie and Linda made us promise that if we ever came back up to Camden that we
would stop in and say hello. It has been
such a blessing to get to know Ernie and Linda so personally because that is
not the experience we had two years ago when we were up here.
After working today we went back to the church and got our
swim suits and supplies to go and have a cookout at Lake Oneida. It was such a beautiful night and Mary took a
great group picture for us but I forgot to have her put her pictures on my
computer before she went to bed so you will have to wait until tomorrow to see
more pictures, I know I am sooo sorry.
(all of the pictures that I have posted have been from Mary’s camera so
be sure to thank her the next time that you see her)
Thank you all for your love and prayers, they have all been
felt this week!
