THURSDAY EVENING: After a delicious dinner featuring homemade poppyseed chicken over rice, we had a little music time with drum, guitar and harmonica. The Good Neighbor's director, Jason, is amazing on the "mouth harp".
For group time, the work groups planned and acted out a 2 minute skit of what they did...without words. After the "performances", groups used words to describe their day. This time turned into a lengthy share time about how we see God at work and what God is teaching us. Curtis, our Joshua Expeditions director, then led a devotional time on Ephesians 2:1-10. Both he and the students contributed to an insightful Biblical discussion–very encouraging. Again, this time turned into a lengthy time of sharing. Our group time was over 2 1/2 hours long!
FRIDAY: Unseasonably cold here: high temperature of 22º and windchill of 13º. We split up into our work groups again. I visited each site to see what they were up to. Everyone was working with great attitudes. I will focus on the "weather-proofing a mobile home" group. Yesterday and today they laid plastic sheeting under the house to provide a "vapor shield" so the house could hold heat better. This group deserves an extra shout out for their amazing work under a house! It was fun getting into their work space to get some good photos.
