Day 3

Day 3 brought about some of our toughest challenges yet. It was very warm and pretty humid (for us). We worked with Extreme Community Makeover where we cleaned up two blocks worth of alley ways between two streets by weeding, picking up trash and throwing out large items. It also provided an opportunity to talk to the neighbors about Christ and why we were weed wacking in their back yards. We then hurried to Costco to get some food for a community dinner that we were putting on for the residence at Joshua Station (about 85 or so). While in Costco, the weather went completely nuts outside with rain coming down in sheets and lightning every couple of seconds. We got totally drenched getting to the van with the food but it felt kind of refreshing. We then picked up over 30 feet of sub sandwiches from Subway and went over to Joshua Station where we had a great dinner with the residence and got to talk to several families. Though it was an extremely long and exhausting day, we felt good about the opportunities that God provided us. Please pray that we get many more of these opportunities tomorrow as we are offering a car wash to the community as a fundraiser for Joshua Station.
