Day 6 & 7 -HOTTTTTTT!!!!
8/24/07
The last couple days have been grueling hot... but it has been AWESOME!!! The team is healthy overall... except for a couple sore throats and a few cuts and bruises. This has been somewhat due to an enforced water consumption of 2L by 10:00am, 3L by the end of lunch, and 4-5L by the time we leave to go back to the oasis of Willem and Beth's home. Some of the team has been downing 6-8L per day.
This is the second time I've published this blog entry... and I'm super tired... even though it's 9:30pm... the heat and the work has us all in bed early... in fact, I'm the last one up...
The pictures will tell the stories of the last couple days:
The soccer group began it's day with prayer before splitting off into teams:
We had the opportunity to participate in a rice distribution on behalf of Rice Raiser International, as well as handing out dehydrated soup mix from Fraser Valley Gleaners:
Construction continues on two fronts; the school and the feeding center:
Some of the youth on the team participated in putting together backpacks full of school supplies last year... the backpacks were sent over on an HFL trailer to MTM in the spring and we participated in distributing a portion of them to the school children in the Dumay school:
Random shots of the team, friends, and surroundings:
May God bless you wherever this blog entry finds you... He is definately blessing us!!!
Prayer requests:
-Tomorrow is our last day working in Dumay... we're going to have to say goodbye...
-For continued safety and health...
-Wisdom in how we can all be the most effective on this trip...
-Courage for us to continue to step out of comfort zones...
-That Christ would be evident in our actions and words...
Shalom.
