Just Another Day In Paradise

 Whats better than waking up at Six o'clock in the morning? Or working in the burning sun dripping with sweat? Nothing.  Im so grateful for just being here and helping people who are in  need. People get the idea that on a mission trip, you are just supposed to help  the people you're working for. But really the people in need are actually helping us. On this mission ,this idea finally got to me. This idea is that the congregation from Seven Rivers that came on the mission is getting healed in every way. Last night we prayed out loud about our gratefulness. This really made us open up and let us get healed emotionally and religously. Everyine grew even close together in a matter of about an hour. Before that we got to see the family we will be helping. The family that we are helping demolish their house are thankful for the help but mostley just because we are there and we care. Will and Sabrina (which was the family) were such good sports and actually helped us destroy their house. Throughout the whole day Will was carrying the biggest and heaviest things and Sabrina was just kidding around/ helping with the little things as well. When we first got on site, we were met by Sabrina then all of a sudden this giant of a man comes out(Will). I can honestly say I was a little bit scared when I first saw him. But when he told his story and everyone at the end actually saw the thanfulness in his eyes. This happiness spread like wild fire throughout our group. And thankfully it did not end that day. Today was day three in our site and we tore down mostly every wall in the house. Through hail,thunderstorms,rain, forceful winds, and etc we Seven Rivers will be there for the New Orleans families through thick and thin. Keep praying for us, we are grateful for those. We will keep y'all in the loop.
