Wow! Our first day of work, and we will all sleep well tonight. We began four construction projects this morning that included screening a porch, painting the inside of the chapel, making ballisters for the hand rail of the escape stairs out of the back of the school, and working on the second story of the clinic that we tore down our last trip here.
The screening went well and they got most of the frame up and will screen the porch tomorrow. Painting made some good headway and finished about a third of the chapel and intend to finish tomorrow. The clinic team spent the morning sifting sand for the mortar that we will need tomorrow. Today was mostly the prep work for the rest of our work this week. When most people need to add a hand rail onto stairs or a ramp, they go down to the local hardware store and buy what they need. Here at CCCD, home made is the way to go. The ballister team was popping finished concrete ballisters, supports for the hand rails, and prepping the forms for the next set to be poured.
Today was also our first day of VBS with the students. Our story time was all about
Elijah and the prophets of Baal, how God showed His power by igniting soaking wet wood to allow the burnt offering to occur. In games, the kids built cup and paper towers. We danced our hearts out during music time, and decorated tissue paper crosses with our crafts group.
Tomorrow morning and each morning after for the time we are here, Aric will have the opportunity to teach the students during their daily devotions
Overall, it was a good day. We pray that God was glorified, and that hearts were touched.
