Wednesday

Today. First day at Light of the Valley. God made his presence known! The hour long ride to Light of the Valley so lush and green that you had to give God the glory for the beauty of His creation. We were thankful for a wonderful breeze to help combat the "ever-present-sticky" feeling. And we were blown were blown away by the progress made on the caretaker's house and the number of kids present for VBS!

The construction team was able to raised all four walls and the rafters of the caretaker's house. They were cutting wood and hammering nails like champs. In VBS, we had 150 kids on our first day! Though we were a BIT overwhelmed :) the youth were wonderful and loved on the kids all afternoon. It was awesome to see the joy on the faces of those children, and to know that those relationships will continue to build over the course of the week.

It is an understatement to just say that God is teaching our group a lot. God has a much bigger mission trip planned for us than we had planned for ourselves. Eyes are wide open and looking for God to move. It's incredible to "see what you can see" when you are unplugged, offline, and not constantly looking at a cell phone:)

I am excited to see what the week brings.
