Today was our last day of work and I am exhausted! They actually made me work today. Everyone is looking forward to traveling to the beach tomorrow. We just finished up our evening devotions time and God was moving. We went to the sanctuary of the church we are staying at and watched a video presentation of different pictures and video's from right after Hurricane Katrina hit. Then we opened the microphone to our students to share what God has been doing in them this week. It was wonderful to sit back and hear that this trip was a success! Thank you so much for your prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we travel to the beach tomorrow and then home on Sunday. God has been using your teenagers and amazing things hava happened in their lives. I challenged them to write down something that God has done this week so that they don't forget it. I heard our students say so many things that God has been teaching them. One young lady commented to me about how she would often complain to her mom about their home. She told me "I will never again complain to my mom about where I live." One young man said, "I will never freak out if my mom won't let me get a new X-Box game. I've realized that I have a lot more important things in my life...like my family." We had so many people share how they realized this week how much Here are four new videos for you to watch. Some clips are of us playing in "the Projects" (that is what they call it!) One is of a home owner, and several are of workers. I hope someone is still reading this! Thanks again for all you've done to make this week possible for your students. (Also...sorry about the lizard video! It was a complete accident!) Love, Joy & Peace!
