Hello All. We are having a wonderful week with your amazing young people. I am so impressed with their work ethic and their understanding of what they are doing and why. Their eagerness to serve is amazing and tireless. Our jobs have been varied but have largely involved roofing work. Needless to say, it is hot and dirty work. Tonight, a wonderful man who watched us feed the homeless in the park, noticed our youth’s maturity and asked us to his home for swimming. We were greeted with watermelon and drinks. It has been a wonderful trip so far. The missionaries here are amazing people who basically live very minimally in order to serve others and run this ministry. This minimal and exhausting work they do involves not only the couple but their four children.
The youth are wonderful to each other and they share openly and seem to feel safe that way. The play is harder than the work, if that is even possible. Some of the youth are literally staying in a room connected to a gym with a basketball court so there is constant activity even after 8 hours on a hot roof.
It is always true that the more you give the more you get back. The blessings are many and the youth have eyes wide open. Tonight’s conversation after our day’s work was about people who completely trust God and serve him with their life.
More Later,
Mary Jane Lewis
