Last Day of Work

Hi there, 

Kim here. It is late. It has been an incredible week. I can hardly believe that tomorrow we are packing up & heading home (except that I'm sure ready to see my baby boy!).

{charlie & crew built that trellis!} 

Today we were split up into 3 teams. One crew worked on Diane & Ken's, the house we've primarily worked at, finishing up landscaping, staining the deck, and building the trellis. It was terribly hard to say goodbye to this incredible family. But we will keep in touch. It was such a blessing to work with this family. To see their attitudes and faith in our living God through their storm.

My crew had a pretty awesome day. We did some cleanup on a property for a house that is yet to be built. The house that is being rebuilt is for a single mom and her daughter that lost everything in the storm. Even though our job was minimal we were reminded of the lasting impact we're making for the kingdom by one of the disaster relief workers, Dawn.

We also worked at a woman named Pat's house. We cleaned up, organized, and did some garden work for her. It was blessing to talk with her, hear her story, and help her out!

Lastly, Manny & his crew worked at the home of a man named Dan. He also lost everything in the tornado and needed help at his new home. They worked on brush cleanup and lots of mulch!!! 

The crew worked very hard. What would have taken Dan and his son almost a week because of drive time and shoveling only took our crew about 3 hours!

We are SOOOOOOOO  PROUD of these kids!!!!

We can't wait to get home & tell you more about what God has done and how He has changed us!

See you tomorrow!

Love, Kim
