Hi everyone, welcome to a glimpse of my last 2 weeks.
Our first week, was pretty crazy. We had 2 groups of high school Christian schools taking their senior trip. They were great, gave me a pretty fun nick name. I live in an old elementary school. Creepiest thing ever, especially when I have to lock the doors at night. Not to mention the bats, and such. But I had a couple work projects. This year is a lot different than Atlanta. Chad, my contstruction partner and I find a lot of work sites, then we work out the details, and then take the mission trip groups to the sites and get them set up, but then we have to get ready for the next days sites, so we don't get to be around the groups as much. But we get to help tons of people. The people in this county use to be a very rich with the coal industry, but when it started declining, the community went from over 100,000 people to only 20,000. But they are great, everyone I meet treats me like I'm a long last friend.
As for this week, we have a group from a church in Arkansas, and it they are great. Their heart breaks for this community, and they want to work so much, and they worked so hard all week. If the weeks coming have half the heart of these guys, this will be a great summer. We got up 3 hours early today, just to finish a ditch they were digging.
As for next week, I get to go to Kentucky, and work with that EM site. I'm a little confused as the deails, but something to do with Ichthus. So I might be able to catch a show :)
So my team is great, I miss everyone from last year, but am excited about all these great new oppurtunities of how God will use me.
I love continually seeing God's great love for me, and that I counted worthy to work for the God that has done so much for me.
