Starting out with Devos..
Kid's club, for those who are unaware, is where many children from the community are invited to come for games and crafts and to learn about Jesus. Today we had over 30 kids which seemed like quite a bit more with some of them challenging everyone. There were some incidents, one of which involved vomit, but the amazing Audra Duffy stepped up to the plate to clean it up. Work sites today included painting the outside of a produce/fish market, plucking chickens, and lots of brush burning, which Rick thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, our morning and afternoon activities were successful.

Afterwards, we hopped in the vans and drove down to Dauphin Island for a couple hours of beach time. The sand was hot and the water was warm, but it felt good to wash off all the dirt and paint from a hard days work. Back at the community center, much needed showers were followed by dinner; Jambalaya, green beans and corn muffins.
and then the Beach...
We all feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing opportunity to help out this Alabama community. We're looking forward to the week ahead with open hearts and open minds!
