HELLO ALL! We are finally somewhat settled after three days and woke up ready to work this morning! Our first house we went to was simply pulling weeds, and as easy as that seems the man was highly greatful for the help. Next we went to an elderly lady's house, and again did a very simple job, trimming the hedges. And again as simple as this job was she was so greatful for the help. Today was a very fulfilling day for me, it made me feel so good to help people. I felt like God was working through me the whole day and knowing that there was a smile on my face the whole day. This day worked out perfectly for us too; no rain for the first time since we have been here, the weather was not too terribly hot, and everyone was in a great mood despite our lack of sleep! I'm seeing everyday that I'm here that the more I try to help people here the more I actually get back out of it. I came here to help people and to change peoples lives but it is the people who are changing my life and helping me.
Today was a great day, and the rest of the week will just keep getting better!
