Day 5::
Today began like any other day, we woke up around 6:30, ate a fantastic breakfast thanks to our amazing kitchen ladies☺, and prepared to leave for our sites…the only difference was the weather. All morning it was overcast and looked like rain was headed our way. This was obviously a little bit of a bummer because most of us expected the attendance at Backyard Bible Clubs to be significantly lower, but what we didn’t realize was that God had other plans. The attendance was exactly the same, if not higher than all the other days. This was a great testament to how much these kids love what we are doing here in Dallas and want so much to be a part of it.
While Backyard Bible Clubs are so important, one of the most pivotal parts of our team this week has been the construction crew. This team has worked so hard, and as Dan so intelligently put it, “deserves some mad props.” These guys and girls have woken up at least an hour before the rest of us even thought about getting out of bed, and worked tirelessly in the sun all day long. They have cleared out the land surrounding Cornerstone Church, done landscaping work, and have been putting up a BEAUTIFUL fence that will surround the church yard. They have all been a true example to the rest of us, of what it means to work as if working for the Lord. Keep them in your prayers as they wrap up their projects tomorrow, that they will finish on time and stay safe while doing so.
The rest of the afternoon was spent resting; we watched movies and ate ice cream Sundays☺ Thank you for all your prayers and encourage-o-grams this week. They have definitely gone a long way! Tomorrow is the last day…pray that we will accomplish all that God has planned for us, and do so joyfully☺ Until tomorrow…
