As the week finally draws itself to a close, we had to say goodbye to the house that had brought us a week of hard work and reward. Though we were not awaken in the usual manner (instead we were shouted at, politely, by Ian) we soon got out the door and moving. We ended up having the longest 15 minute car ride I think I have ever been on. We arrived at a very normal home and the only thing that gave it away as our 'new' job sight was the trailer parked out front. We were greeted by a very polite woman, thanking us as we began our work to help her build a handicapped bathroom for her son. We tore down (and putting back up) gutters, putting in floor boards, and building a wall. Seeing as we destroyed most of the week, it was odd to build...
As we sit here in the church I am reminded of the hospitality of the people we have just barely met (and probably never meet again) and there joy in helping as we gave. I have all ways known that the holy spirit can work wonders all around us, but I never thought I would be a part of it.
God bless,
Jack Hill
