Our first full work day lived up to its expectation of being hit and productive. We had work team begin clearing a lot to put in a children's play area and clearing out the weeds from the community garden. During the work day, students had numerous community members drive by and thank them, grab some veggies from the garden, and even help in the labor! This is awesome since we talked about relationships tonight and how we show the love of God to all. Speaking of showing the love of God to all, one of our students has even taken this to another level by reaching out to the hotel staff where we are staying. While I was standing at the check-in counter tonight to ask about something, this boy saw one of the ladies that works at the desk and said "Hey Victoria!" And she replied right back "Hey Matthew! How are you tonight?". I guess he has been having great conversations with her and the night manager and has begun showing the light if Christ to them. Haha Awesome!
Tomorrow we will continue our work projects in the morning and have vbs tomorrow night. I also have a surprise for the students after lunch tomorrow. I am taking them for New Orleans Sno Balls (New Orleans version of snow cones but MUCH better)
Please pray for continued strength and good weather. God Bless!
