Today was day 5 since we left home. Today I rejoice in the fact that we got to do some construction work on a building that will provide a place for people to go worship and praise the Lord our God. In the short and few hours we were able to work, we accomplished a lot. We painted 2 big brick walls, 3 bathrooms, and a swing set. We moved a lot of rocks and the guys took care of a lot of the garbage inside. I especially had fun with todays schedule because not only were we able to help build a place for people to glorify God, but I was also able to bond more with everyone here in this trip. Payten and I were able to combine our cheer knowledge and perform a 2 person stunt so we could reach higher places that needed painted (a picture of it is in the photo section). This we found out was not only a funny idea, but smart and fun to paint. A few others joined in. A lot of us had fun playing with the paint and especially when it got all over Holden's face.
Tonight we got to run a church service at the church that has come to mean the world to me. After the people here did their amazingly fun worship and dancing, we were able to sing a few of our songs. People got to talk and share testimonies, and Daniel got to preach again. But as the night is growing to a close, I want to say hi to all my family. I love and miss you all so much! But I love it so much here, I don't want to come back. I hope you are all having fun reading about what we are doing!
Love you!
