5 Years in the Waiting...
Temperatures were rising again today, but luckily we only work 1/2 day on Wednesday. The rest of the week temperatures will continue rising and with the addition of good ol' Carolina humidity it will be a struggle. Today Charlie & Delta left early to try to get in some extra work due to the size of their roof. Echo and Golf worked together and nearly completed one of the houses. All crews headed back to the church around noon for showers and to get ready for our night out.
Per tradition we found a park to hang out at for a little bit before dinner. This year we went to a different park, Goat Island Park. It was a fabulous park complete with a ropes course, permanent cornhole and ping pong tables, swings, playground, and exercise equipment (we didn't use that...hahaha). We're trying to convince the mayor of Anna to upgrade the town park to match. While we were at the park we took time to read some notes and cards from Homefront Warriors praying for us. We are so appreciative to have love and support from others while we're here working. Homefront Warriors, and all those praying for us at home are a constant reminder that we aren't in this alone and others are praying for not only the work we do but our own personal faith journey and growth. We didn't stay at the park too long due to the heat, but a few of us did play frisbee for a little bit. For dinner we decided to go to Bojangles because we don't have that at home...if you see Isaac ask him how many chicken tender combos he wanted.
After dinner we finally....after 5 years...went to the Speedpark!! We were able to race go-karts, play putt-putt, climb in a spider wall, jump on a bungee trampoline, and go down a giant slide (well, kinda...the slide didn't work so well...). It was a lot of fun to have some friendly competition and spend time together - we were so excited it didn't rain! After the Speedpark, thanks to someone special who wanted us to have a little extra fun, we had time and funds to go to Dave & Busters and play some games to earn tickets to cash-in for prizes! We returned to the church around 11:00 after a night full of fun, group bonding, and great love.
