Our dinner that night was the best part. Each Tuesday, Rural Mission, our partner for the week hosts a meal for all the groups with real seafood and soul food. We had fried chicken, homemade macaroni & cheese, fried fish, gumbo, rice, cornbread, etc. It was amazing! I ate my face off. We headed out to this little shopping area called Freshfields afterwards for some ice cream.
We had our group time when we got back where we laid out our theme for the week, Give Me Your Eyes. I think the students are really interested.
Today we got a good start to the work, maybe too good. We finished a project in about 90 minutes that I think Rural Mission thought would take us at least till lunch or maybe all day. Another group was starting on Mary Brown's house. Mary lost both her legs in the last year, so we are doing a few different things around her house. A 3rd small group worked at Mrs. Brown's house on some drywall. It was a productive first day.
Now, we are resting and excitedly waiting for our chicken fajita dinner!
Keep praying, especially that we would have plenty of work to do.
Thanks,
Casey
