Greetings All,
Coming to you live and tired from the social
area of Henryville UMC. What an amazing day with amazing people. This may be a
brief email since we are planning on heading out tomorrow at 6:30 AM or before
and we still have some packing to do in the morning.
Let me say first that all the parents of the
youth that came along should be very proud of their youth. They performed above
and beyond and exceeded expectations. It was hot, dirt, sometimes nasty work but
they didn't back down from anything. When out in public they were polite and
well mannered.
Secondly we got the Pods (portable storage
sheds) cleaned out and the items (including an upright piano which we moved
twice) moved into the house. We got almost all of the tasks on our list
completed. But most of all we found out that we had restored a lady's faith that
there are still people in this world that will take time to help others. She
told some of our team members that she didn't think folks like us were still
around.
After dinner tonight we had a visit from Pastor
McCormick and his wife Kim. They stopped by to say thank you for what we had
done. The attached picture is the team with them.
Our devotions tonight include communion served
by Rich and Brittney. It was a very moving time for all.
Rich and Parker are heading out early (4:30) in
the morning due to a family function for Parker back in Richmond. I imagine when
most of you read this they will be close to Virginia. Please keep them in your
prayers.
The May family will be heading out about the
same time we do for Chicago. Please keep them also in your prayers.
I hope to write a wrap up of the week soon after
I get back. It will be good to be back home tomorrow. Thank you for your
prayers. So for now good night and God Bless!
In Christ,
Jeff
