Today was our last work day. We started the day off with an informal service. The theme was Ephesians 4:32. About forgiveness - not only forgiveness of our sins, but forgiving others. There was a piano, bongo and tamourine available - so we had music at our service also! We worked like crazy again - today we spread mulch down paths, then cleared more dead trees to run through the chipper to make more mulch - then we used that up too! We finished building shelves in the craft room. The lodge received a little sprucing up with scraping and painting the window and door trim. We were cut short of a couple windows and doors by a big downpour. Happily the weather held off until after we were about done. We weren't able to go swimming or play laser tag today because of the rain. All the girls had their hair french braided - and a couple of the guys! We had a great evening devotion and talked lots about prayer - for ourselves when times are so tough - but also prayer for others. The main point was Hebrews 13:5b. "Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you." And Psalm 23. This was Michaela's last Youth Mission trip as a Youth. (I fully expect she will take other mission trips and may someday be a chaperone on a Youth Mission trip. We all prayed for great experiences for her in college and we send her with our love and support. It's really hard for Priscilla and I when our babies leave the nest - so tears have been shed. Tomorrow we come home. The trip was quick, but productive. Thanks for supporting us on our mission, we really appreciate all the support from our wonderful volunteer chaperones, parents and everyon who helped financially to send us on the mission. Without all of you - none of this is possible.
