Today we were assigned to rip apart the base of a home.
The Joplin Angels (aka Rachel, Faith, and Allison) ripped up the deck like beasts.
The Squash and the Hulk (aka Ben and Erik) moved the massive rocks.
The temperatures were high but we toughed it out.
By the end of our shift, we had removed the entire decking and most of the outside foundation.
Highlights ….
Girl power.
Meeting two new groups.
Having a great end to the work part of the week.
Getting excited to enjoy Six Flags.

I have to admit, I’m kind of sad tonight.
Sure I’m tired...Sure it will be great to sleep in my own bed and see my family.
Sure it will be nice not have to shower at the YMCA (so thankful that they did open their facilities for us though).
But I’m still kind of sad.
In this week, I have heard stories.
I’ve seen destruction.
But I’ve also seen hope.
Hope in rebuilding.
Hope in the community.
Hope growing as a community of believers.
It has been an uplifting experience.
Our work time is done but I know that through the gifts God gave each person in our group, we did make a difference…all for His glory.
In His service,
Terry
