After the storm yesterday it was cooler today. Thank you Lord!!!!!!!

The power spray painter stopped working and the construction crew had to stay flexible and finally another one was obtained. We are hoping to finish spray painting tomorrow afternoon because the celebration is tomorrow night at the pavilion. We have all learned that is very important to stay flexible and to practice patience.

The gardening crew saw their first finished results. They put the soaker hoses, newspaper and mulch on the prepared beds. Started the hoses and they worked. They plan to finish tomorrow in time for the celebration.

For some the day was difficult and was definitely an over the hump day. Others said things went more smoothly. The children and the volunteers are tired. Karen said after yesterday, today was the best day ever. The children are loving, difficult, precious and a challenge. We pray that we are making a difference.

We had our “debriefing” tonight with one of the summer interns. We are constantly inspired with the people here. She is doing wonderful work with the children.

We want to recognize one of our team members. Sara intentionally took a physics course online this summer so that she could finish it during this mission trip. She took her final online tonight and is receiving an A in the class. Congratulations Sara.
