And so the work begins...

Today was our first day on the job site! We are working with another group from Adrian, MI- small world! Our homeowners are the Hendersons; a man and his mother. We started the day off tentatively by getting lost in the forest and by watching Amber's am.az.ing backing up skills. Once on the worksite, we were told that our job for the week is to build from scratch a new back porch, scrub, prime, and paint the house, and demo and start a remodel of the front porch. Eventually Team Effort groups will put on a new roof.
In was hot! Even so, we got it all primed, the front demoed and the frame of the back built and trussed.
The camp we are staying at, Wildwater Express, is HUGE! After a hard days work, we can swim, do the "blob," rock climb, and go on this ginormous swing thing. Fun stuff!
During devotions tonight we continued our discussion about baggage-focusing on how priorities and possessions need to stop being #1 and instead to put God in His rightful place in our lives.
We finished off with small group praise and discussion.
We have a great group of adults and teens this week! God is doing big things.
Thanks for lifting us up in prayer....keep it up!
