Two entries for the price of one (sorry for not posting last night...)
We have had an amazing last few days here in Bayou La Batre Alabama. We woke up Thursday ready for another day's hard work. After a filling breakfast we had some deep devotions going further into what being a part of the kingdom of God looks like. We split into our groups and had a great last day of Kids Club with safari day and continued to paint houses in the community. We all gathered back up to host a community cookout at a local park. Some of the local kids joined us in our exploits on the monkey bars and our frisbee game. The park was right on the bay and we were able to enjoy a great sunset together on the pier. Our last night at the Community Center included a foot washing ceremony symbolizing Christ willingness to serve others in the same way we should serve others. It was an emotionally draining night.
Friday morning we awoke VERY EARLY to breakfast, cleaning the building up and an emotional goodbye to our home for the past week in the Bayou. We are now settled in at Laguna Beach Christian Camp for the next two nights for some rest and relaxation at the BEACH! It is spectacular here and we have spent time in the Gulf of Mexico and the pool already. Tomorrow we plan on a canoe trip and some more beach and pool time.
Home around 2:30 (ish) on Sunday so we may not blog tomorrow... we will have to see. Lots of tired and emotionally spent people on this trip so far.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
