TPP - Wednesday

What a week this has been and it is only Wednesday!  It truly has been a blessing for me to be working alongside our students commitments: commitment to God, commitment to themselves, commitment to others.  This really became evident today at the worksite when a little situation happened (nothing major don’t worry).  For the last couple of weeks Ms. Linda’s grandson Deshaun (I think I said that earlier in the that he was her son but he is not he is her grandson) has been living at her house because his mother kicked him out of the house and didn’t have a place to sleep so Ms. Linda welcomed him into her home.  Needless to say that Deshaun and his mother don’t get along very well together and I am sure there is a lot more to their history together but we don’t know what that history is.  What we did find out today was that Deshauns mother called the police and said that he ran away from home so the cops came to pick him up.  As soon as our students saw the cops and heard that they were looking for Deshaun at this point we had no idea why so we all gathered in the back yard to pray for Deshaun, Larry, and Ms. Linda, and Deshaun’s mother!  The rest of the day the students really loved on Ms. Linda and  worked even harder to get the projects done.                                        

After our work day we had the opportunity to go and swim and a public pool in Mt. Airy and it was a blast!  Our kids had a great time swimming and we welcomed with open arms from the kids from the community.  Here are some pictures from our time at the pool.

Sorry for the short but I am exhausted!  Goodnight
