God was everywhere we turned around on Wednesday.  On our way to the work site, we were reminded that God was watching over us.  As we turned into our parking area, there was a double rainbow directly in front of us.

It wasn't long before we learned how we would show God's love.  A young man aproached us to see if we could use more help (if you remember, this is the day we are moving roof trusses from the ground to the top!)  Our new friend, Chip, is from our of town and works for a survey company.  Apparently his job requires him to "babysit" a computer in a van all day! During our lunch break, Chip told us his story.  He was involved in a church as a child, but has had a negative impression of church since his teen years.  He said something drew him to our group.  He proceeded to share his disbelief that youth and adults would be working like this...without pay, and not knowing the home-owner.  He loved the comraderie, humor, and team work we showed.

Chip continued working with us for the rest of the day.  At the days end, he said he was rethinking his opinion of 'church people!'  Little did we know, we were being the image of the Master Carpenter!  Little did Chip know, his story touched the hearts of many in our group.

After the work day, we experienced the joy of Jesus.  Miss Leona, her neighbors, and family treated us to a Louisiana shrimp boil--complete with shrimps, crabs, corn, sausage, and potatoes! YUM!!  We played games and laughed with these new friends. 

How thankful we are for every experience!!
