Today was probably the most intense day of work I have experienced in a VERY long time. I mean, I work at walmart- I fold clothes to pay off my car. But today I experienced a whole new level of work. I helped pry a roof off with a crow bar! It was hard work and someone dropped a crowbar across the backs of my ankles. But I am so happy to be here and this cause is beautiful and I want to help so I kept working and it totally paid off. I say this because if I hadn't kept working I wouldn't have had the opportunity to use the power saw!!! It was amazing and I am so excited that i got to do something that made an impact on our project so directly. I'm starting to see a difference through the hard work of this group.
This evening we had men from the community come and share their testimony about how they came to know christ and it truly touched me. I mean, I know that there are places like this all over the world and even in our own backyard. But I never took the time to actually see the world these people live in. I wish I had come into this kind of place sooner so that I could be helping more people. There are places within half an hour and even less than 10 minutes from me that I could make a difference in. I want t take all the amazing insight that I have received and my experiences from this week and show the people in my community that we can make a difference too.
I am exhausted and my pillow is calling my name. Can't wait for tomorrow and its blessings. Love you dad and Tiffy, I miss you both and Maddie too. Btw tell Jack hi next time you talk to him.
