Today went well. We got a lot of work accomplished, and each VBS had a good amount of kids show up. Two men from the Idaho group, Brian and Larry, are experienced contractors, so once things got rolling, fast progress was made. The only slowdown was our attempt to bust out the existing sidewalk so that we could build a ramp that will lead into the fellowship hall. The concrete was old but well made, and it took hours to see progress. But once the kids saw progress they did not want to stop until the whole sidewalk was removed! Ten tons of gravel were spread on the road leading to the church, all in one day! And, most importantly, no one was hurt! The youth are learning how to work various tools and it was fun to work with them all.
Erin went to the two VBS's at St. Bon today. She said each VBS had kids, and the youth did well for their first day.
I have a lot more to share, but honestly I am exhausted from today's work, so I am going to go to bed! (It's 10pm right now.) Thanks for your prayers! I will post more tomorrow!
