We are busy as can be and enjoying every moment of it. This past weekend we said farewell to our first two teams and welcomed the next two. The group that left consisted of a high school team of 14 from Benttree Church in Dallas, Texas and the other was an all men’s team of 11 from Baylife Church in , Florida. Both teams worked extremely hard and did a fantastic job. In fact, the Baylife team set a new worksite record. These hardworking men laid 872 blocks in their four days of working on the clinic. That is incredible! They definitely set the standard for the summer. We will see if any teams can beat or even match their record as the summer continues. Thank you to both teams for your participation and hard work!
The two teams that just arrived are from the same churches. The group from Benttree is another high school team of 15, and the Baylife team is also a high school team of 12. They all arrived safely, settled in their houses, and started their first full day at the worksite this morning. They have some tough work ahead of them for the next two weeks, but I know they well do great.
Our interns just completed their second full week of work and are moving forward with full force. This is definitely a huge learning process for all four of them, but they are doing great. Bonnie and Kaitlyn have completed interviews at 34 homes which is approximately 150 people. Wes is busy with guitar lessons and creating a songbook and logo for the church. Jade is maintaining this website, preparing bible studies as they continue to move through the book of Isaiah, and she is also helping out with many other administrative details.
The family is great and we are all enjoying watching the World Cup and playing soccer in our limited amount of spare time.
Keep checking for updates!
