So I know this is long overdue... But here is the recap from our 3rd trip last week.
They were from Flushing, Michigan. It was a group of mostly high schoolers - one 8th grader. They were great! Very high performance team! We managed to get pass the electrical inspection which Jess (our construction manager) didn't think likely. God can do the impossible! We got that on Thursday so we had electricity on Friday. We had hoped to finish the house last week, but the inspectors found a couple of other things that Jess didn't know had to be done... So that tacked on another week of work.
There were some graduating seniors that were really amazing young ladies. It is so neat to get to pour into students lives and challenge them to live up to their potential.
Allie and I got the opportunity to start teaching during this trip. We each did a growth journal and a Bible study. It was amazing. I am still working on my confidence in front of new groups of people, but it is so cool to know that God is letting me be a part of changing students' lives.
This trip did an amazing job getting so much done on the house. They were such a joy to work with!
Quick update about this week - I won't say too much until my next blog about this current trip... But we did get our Certificate of Occupance on Friday! Major YAY GOD! Now Micy can move into her house! Pics soon to come!
Thank you so much for all your prayers and encourgement! Please continue to pray for strength. Level 3 trips are intense in that we are with them for 10 days straight and I am realizing how important personal time at night is... So, yeah! Strength is my main prayer request right now...
Love you guys, miss you all very much!

P.S. Pray for Greg - we were at the beach for a fun restful day and a wave overtook him and something nicked his head. He had to shave his head and has a big scrape on his forehead. Seems to be doing fine... But pray for healing and not a lot of scarring since he is getting married in a little over a month!
