Day 2 of work

Good evening followers.  What a fun day.  Today our VBS team was dropped off at their site while the construction crew carried on to the school where we were working.  This morning both teams encountered some rain but that didnt dampen the spirits.  The construction team spent time moving rocks again as well as helped to raise and lowere supplies to the third floor of the building using a pulley system.  The VBS crew worked at another church today and got a chance to play with and love on lots of children.

At the beginning of our devotion time tonight we passed out the cards from our prayer partners in the Journey of Faith Sunday School Class.  We are so appreciative of the prayers being offered for us and we are praying for you as well.

Our devotion tonight was from Luke 16:19-31 and we talked about seeing those around us who are in need.  The end of our devotion was filled with about 30 minutes of sharing God sightings.  I will share as many as I can tonight but know that there are so many ways that our group s experiencing God.

Meredith saw God ina little boy who was caring for his 2 younger cousins.

Jawain saw God in the children who wanted to help on the construction site. 

Rachel Porter saw God in the elderly lady who came to VBS.

Peyton saw God after lunch when we had given away as many pb&j sandwiches as we could.  It was explained to them that before they could play with Wibby they had to wash up.  They then scrubbed and scrubbed with hand sanitizer wipes out of concern for her.

Thank you to everyone who follows us.  It has been such a great trip and is almost halfway done.  Pray for rest and rejuvenation of the team.  Pray that we will continue to see God in so many ways each day.  Feel free to leave comments to be shared with the team.  Goodnight from La Romana.
