-Matthew 13:31
Today was our first day, and it was very successful. Ten out of the twenty-seven kids went to Vacation Bible Camp. We put on a skit that depicted the beginnings of Joseph's life. The kids loved it and we had a lot of fun.
Then, the bible camp people joined the work already in progress at the two house projects. Work on the White house included: removing and replacing of the roof shingles; removing clutter of their front yard; and working to do massive amounts of cleaning inside the house. We bonded quickly with three year old Nevi and got an insight to the difficulties of Traci's home life. Nevi's three brothers are away at camp, so sadly we didn't get the opportunity to meet them yet.
Work at the Toph's house included: entirely gutting the first floor bathroom (and finding a few surprises on the way); scraping off loose paint from all sides of the house in preparation for priming and painting tomorrow. We met the family and felt very comfortable with them. We particularly came close with fifteen year old Aaron who helped us working around his house.
We already feel the impact we're making through this experience, so we can't wait for tomorrow!
Looks like you are working very hard. we're proud of you!!
ReplyDeletethat white house looks huge! Ithought it was a church when I looked at one picture.
