Today was crazy. Most first days normally are. Our group is doing construction and backyard Bible clubs in 2 different locations. At the construction site, we placed 18 10x10x16 stilts into a 4 ft. hole. As you can imagine, this is not easy (even with the help of a tractor). If all goes well, we should be laying a floor tommorrow morning and then pouring concrete in the afternoon. We also encountered some road blocks while digging the holes which slowed things down somewhat.
At the backyard Bible club (located at St able Baptist), we had over twenty for the first day. To my surprise there were 6 teenagers who came to help. Everything went well and we are anticipating another great day the kids.
Squeak did a great job in his first message tonight. He was nervous, but did well. I look forward to seeing him develop in this area as he continues to grow in ministry. Spoken For, the puppets, and the band led our first Family night service at Robinson Road. I am very proud of everything we accomplished on the first day, and I look forward to tommorrow!!

Hey Gang!
The pictures tell it all. Your hard work is paying off as usual. Look what you accomplished in just one day. Wish I was there, but I am so glad to see so many new faces in the group that are helping to carry on the work.I am getting ready to take my mom for her surgery today. We appreciate your prayers for her as we are also praying for you. God bless!
