Day 4 - Work continues
Today felt more like we were in a “groove”…getting up, getting ready, heading over to the house, etc.
It was REALLY hot at some points today though.
Nicki and Steve spent all morning painting inside a house. Rob and Kevin put the siding up inside the porch roof (the Soffet…maybe spelled wrong). Rob got the nickname “Soffet Man” by Mark, and he kept singing to the tune of the Elton John song “Rocket Man”.
Eric and Mark did various odd jobs all day…bending metal…siding…roofing…ask Eric sometime about how hot roofing material gets in the Mississippi Sun.
We have been trying to take alot of pictures, and we are hoping to try and post some at some point tomorrow.
We had Eric as our cook tonight, with Penne Pasta and sauce, and a Salad. We had a dinner guest again…an English Teacher from San Diego who we have kind of adopted into our little family unit.
Mark’s devotions tonight included a discussion about each team members faith and physical journey to this point in time, at this location. We all shared with each other our feelings about why we were called here to do the work of God. It all seems to follow the same thread…this is the exact reason for a church…to reach out, glorify God, and enjoy the walk of faith we are collectively on.
We finished the evening being taught a card game called “Hand and Foot” by Mark and Nicki that is a favorite of a few families back in Lansdale. Rob, Nicki, and Kevin won the first game…but a good time was had by all.
There are some plans about insulation work tomorrow…so I am sure there will be interesting things to be said tomorrow.
A special hi to Audrey Nace, who left us a comment about yesterday’s posting.
God bless all of you as you read this and hopefully feel a little closer to him as you hear whats happening so far from Lansdale.

Sounds like it’s hot and hard work. We’re thinking and praying about you here. Stay safe!
