Blessed Wednesday

Another meaningful and highly productive day at the homes of Hedy and Michelle.  Hedy’s deck is nearly completed, which means tomorrow’s projects will include fence installment, planter box construction, flood vent trimming and landscape work.  Hedy has been so appreciative of our efforts and so kind with her hospitality, we feel unworthy of her generosity and thoughtfulness.  Our jobs at Michelle’s continued today with dry wall mudding, more struggling with the tile work and the additional frustration of laminate flooring “puzzles.”  The mission trippers were treated to a pizza lunch by a grateful Michelle.

I think we are all a little amazed and truly gratified by the warmth and caring demonstrated by our home owners.  We heard their often heart breaking stories of loss and devastation, both physical and emotional, and we were so moved by their resiliency in the face of so much pain.  we all feel so very blessed that God has led us to and allowed us to serve these two, remarkable ladies.

Speaking of incredible, we have all been amazed by the attitudes and work ethics of our young adult mission trippers.  These “kids” are eager to work, actively search out ways in which they can help, and walk with our Lord so closely it blows the minds of we “old folks.”  For anyone who questions or bemoans the state of America’s youth, I direct you to encounter this great group of kids with whom we’ve been blessed in our mission.  Thank you, God!
