Hump Day

Hey all,
Another great day in Chattanooga is in the books!
Our time at the job site went overall well, we got a lot done while it wasn't raining. Unfortunately, many of the jobs we were assigned were outdoors, and around 12:00 it started raining quite a bit. So much of the afternoon we were both waiting out the rain, running out to do more work during the 10 minute pockets when it stopped, and scrambling to find more to do inside. The team was very flexible however with the rain hiccup - the girls especially made the time really fun with lots of singing and dancing. One story from the job site today was that we ran into a wasps nest. There were about six of us working in the back of the house, and while Malachi and Brian where prying an old piece of wood out of the ground that had previously served as a border of the patio, Malachi all of a sudden screamed "WASPS!!" and quickly backed away. Sure enough, a swarm of 7-8 wasps came out of the ground where he had been working. The situation was put under control quickly as we had wasp spray on the job that took care of most of the wasps; I was the only one who ended up getting stung.
We had our last Bible club tonight, which also went well. We felt as though we learned from our mistakes the previous night and had a much smoother show tonight. The kids seemed to really enjoy the time. Our next event with the kids is Friday where we will bring them to the park for a picnic and talk further about Jesus with them.

Prayer:
- Please continue to pray for flexibility for the group as things can quickly change on us (both from HFIC, and the weather this week)
- Also please pray for the kids who we gave the Bible club to, that the seed we sowed would have been on fertile soil and would take root
- We ask for prayer for our Friday picnic with the kids: pray that the kids who we invited would come, that it wouldnt rain, that everything would go safely, and that our team would boldly proclaim the gospel to each kid we invited.
- Prayer for continued energy as we finish out the week

This bottle of poison ivy soap has come in handy as we've encountered lots of poison ivy on the job.

Bible Club!

This is Super Sophie, our inspiring Bible Club teacher! She did a wonderful job teaching the kids the gospel with a super-hero theme.

Thanks again for the prayers! Keep em coming!
