As for the rest of us - we are relieved that we have one week behind us. I went around asking the first group to describe the past week in one word, some commons words were "hot!' or "long" - but others were "revitalizing" or "blessed."
It truly was a great experience and to finish off the week our host's kids Ryan and Kaylee took us tubing! It started off sunny and relaxing and about an hour and a half into the river it began to rain - storm actually - thunder and lighting and all that jazz. I personally had a blast - and we all have a new memory that won't soon be forgotten!Please pray for the upcoming week - we've been assigned basically drywalling and painting and various other tasks such as hauling trash from place to place. We also have two mini vbs clubs this week. Please pray for guidance and wisdom to know how to teach the clubs. Seven of us are teaching clubs while the rest of the groups will be working.
Another request that has been on my heart has been - team unity. Please pray that we will work together and keep in step with Christ in order to be sharp and effective. I know that the enemy is on the prowl ready to strike at any given opportunity. Also pray that we trust God with every situation - many things are up in the air and worries are being thrown out and passed throughout the group. Our hearts need to be right with God and completely relying on Him.
Today we are going to explore New Orleans again, and most likely visit the French Quarter again as well. We also are performing a skit and sign dance for the children's church
Thank you for your encouraging words and prayers on our behalf - God Bless
