Doubling Up!

Sorry about the delay in getting another report out to you. We have been a bit busy and just got back to the Yellow House later than expected.
Tuesday was a very hot day (108 heat index)! We had groups out playing basketball, mowing vacant house lots and other running a day camp that included (Bible Time, Recreation and Crafts). Our team is feeling pretty good today, many didn't feel very good Monday, but it appears we have all adjusted, thanks for your prayers. We followed our afternoon activities with another night at the Melph and Callio housing projects and the amped-up version of Awana. There was a nice breeze that allowed things to feel much coller than earlier, along with no rain (all answers to prayer). We concluded a great day with a wonderful time at the Creole Creamery, it was very good.

Wednesday. . .flew right by. Teams rotated to different responsibilities and activities and didn't have to brave the heat, it was only 101 heat index. No really that feels a lot better. Everyone is still felling pretty good, I think we all are sleeping pretty good. Tonight we concluded with a Talent Show where our group performed the Everything Drama.

Pray for a good rest, also that the Lord would work on our hearts to draw us even closer to Him. That He would give us opportunities to share the gospel with children, youth and children.

See ya tomorrow!
