Happy Tuesday from beautiful Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico!
Today was our second day on worksites. Our participants were up bright and early, pumped to work as they have adjusted to the early take off to sites! Everyone loaded into their vans with smiles on their faces ready to work and serve this community.
A lot of work has already been accomplished so far. We have a church to clean and fix electrically, many roofs to build, interiors to fix up and more. The work needed is abundant but our students have not let up! They are working so hard to complete their projects and it is only Tuesday!
Tonight was the concert of prayer. This is a great opportunity for our students to be in worship and prayer with God, one on one and also in fellowship. The reverent atmosphere tonight was amazing and you could truly feel God’s presence. As our work load grows, bumps come in the road, or we are just tired; it is nice to know that we have a Christian community to pick us up and help us keep going. Tonight was a wonderful reminder of that.
Tomorrow will be a half work day and then our squads return early. After lunch, they get to do some exploring of Puerto Rico with their youth groups. It is going to be an awesome day! This off-time is something our participants have surely earned!
Thank you all for your support and prayers that you have sent to this community and to our students. Please continue your prayers and sending ServeMail to show them how much you care!
Hope you all had a blessed and beautiful Tuesday.
Your Summer Staff,
Olivia and Justin
