Teams
This is week one of our Summer Teams. We are excited to have this team from Covenant Community Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. They have come, ready to jump in where needed – and boy have they! It's been HOT, HUMID – we each are completely drenched, covered in sweat – dripping off our noses, no dry spot to dry your face on your shirt because it's soaked, covered in cement, mud, and loving every minute of it! It's amazing when everyone has a focus goal to show Christ's love with a happy open heart. After our day of shoveling and making cement – dragging rocks, and building a partial foundation – a short time to rest and eat – when it's off to teach English class – yep – smelly and dirty all the way! And yet, with an open – happy heart we went! Awesome to see such folks dedicated and committed to their time here! I'm excited to see what the rest of the week brings!
