Thursday - our final day at the home.  Everyone is asking how it got here so quickly.  The thoughts of saying good bye have started to become a theme as the day continues.  BUT...NOT until we get that swing set finished!  The goal is to get those kids on it TODAY so we can see their joy!  The team worked well into the evening Wednesday night to ensure they were ahead of schedule so they could witness the excitement of these kids!  AND... This is a huge jungle gym not  a simple swing set!  Created and sketched on a napkin by Mike Landis and before he knew what sizes of lumber we were working with.  God IS good!  It has come together and will be a blessing to all!

This has also been the trip for DIRTY jobs!  You know the ones that when mentioned, everyone hangs there heads and won't make eye contact in hopes that they are not selected for this work crew.....

We have discovered, however, that we are united!  There is no job harder or more important than any other!  We all have a skill and a job to do and we are completing them with LOVE for others!  What a GREAT feeling!

We have a closing time with the kids tonight at dinner and depart by 6:30 am Friday morning!  See you all back in the states EARLY Sunday morning!

Thank you for your continued prayers!
