And then there was day 4

Our hope is that everyone has been enjoying the pictures and the blog entries we have posted this week. There are still more to come! Darren has been a real help throughout the week (he has taken most of the pictures). This blog has been a lot of work, but I hope it has helped you all keep up with what we are doing here in Mississippi.

Today provided a sense of real accomplishment. The walls went up today!!! It's a pretty cool feeling knowing that we started this house from the bottom and have worked our way up. Our group has worked very well together. I have said this before, but I am very proud of how they have served the Lord this week. Not everyone is the best at doing construction work, but on these trips that doesn't matter. All that matters is that everyone does the best they can at accomplishing a common goal. Tommorrow is going to be very exciting.

The Bible School continues to go very well. The kids have a real excitement about them that can be both tiring and contagious. Today they learned about how to use the Bible for their lives. My prayer is that these kids will somehow grab hold of the lessons and songs we have brought to them this week. Please be praying for us tommorrow at the Bible school as we close things out. The kids will be told the Gospel message and we pray hard tonight for those who may come to know Christ.
