Day #4 (Tuesday)

Well it was another beautiful hot day in Kentucky.  The team started the day off with a cup of coffee and an AMAZING breakfast casserole prepared by Mrs. Faith.  There was a slight delay in starting our work project due to rain storm that came through last night.  We needed to wait to let the front porch dry so we could paint it.  Once we arrived to the work site, it was a true blessing at how quickly the wood had dried so that we were able to jump to work.  Today's work was a little more tedious due to having so many nooks and crannies  we had to get paint in.  Once it got close to lunch time a few of the team members headed back to prepare lunch while some of us stayed to finish painting the ramp.  We still have a few spots on the porch that we will go back and finish tomorrow morning.

When the whole team got back to the mission house we had lunch with children which consisted of "Pizza Burgers" and chips.  During VBS we discussed the parable of the unforgiving servant.  The kids talked about how the King should forgive the servant his debts and agreed that is was not fair when the unforgiving servant didn't forgive his friend.

 During craft time the children worked on making picture frames and coloring pages that related to the bible story today.

We had a small amount of recreation time outside and realized that it might have been a little to hot to be outside running around.  After being outside the kids came in and got some ice pops to cool down before we wrapped up with music.  It was a long day for the kids and our team.  Like yesterday, we came back to freshen up and relax before dinner.  We did our evening devotion discussing how God always answers our prayers even if we don't feel like He hears us or maybe does not answer it the way we want Him too. It is more about finding those small moments or nuances (as Edward put it) in life to see the many gifts and answers God is giving us.  

Please continue to pray for the people in Nada and especially the children we are working with at VBS.  Also, please keep Ms Wanda Tester and Ms Francis Godsey in your prayers as we continue to work on their homes and be the hands of God!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!
