Work Day 3

My goal for this was to have students write this blog every day after the first day. That however has been really hard because of the demand for sleep here lol. So, here I go again. I hope to have one of them write it tomorrow though!

Today was another awesome work day capped off by an amazing experience here at Harambee at night. Our groups all went out with a purpose this morning and that was too see their jobs to completion. When it came to 3:30, we were supposed to be done and heading back to Harambee for showers. Every one of our teams was done by then except for two small teams finishing up. It was a God thing for sure to have all of our stuff done! The "Hoarders" house is completely done and looks AWESOME! The moms have been helped and blessed by the services we provided. The church looks awesome and is done. The yard sale is set up and ready for tomorrow!

There is no way to describe what God has done through our students this week. It continues to amaze me what they have shown me...SO MUCH HEART! They are tired but continue to do SO much. I am just reminded at how much I am blessed as a student pastor to have a group like this. God is truly great and, honestly, too good to me!

Tonight was pretty cool! They had an open mic night here at Harambee that we got to participate in and it was....well let's just say that our students were dancing, performing, and having an awesome time! We had about 4 or 5 students get up and sing, rap, and read poetry. It was just the spirit lifter that we needed! We had Levi Mays get up and rap with the guys here while John beat boxed for him. Kristen, Katie, and Ben sang a song each. Autumn read a piece of poetry that she wrote. It was just a great time for us to relax and have some fun. They had multiple performers from here rapping, singing, and reciting poetry too. While they rapped, we danced and displayed out whiteness from Southern IN very well! It was quite awesome. So, don't tell pastor Scott that we danced, ok?

We love you all and miss you all! Continue to pray for our strength and energy because, even though it was fun last night, we didn't go to bed again until about 12:30! We love you all!!

Much Love!
