This week has been incredible. It’s been a while since God’s moved in my heart like He did this week. I was with PCY (painting, construction, and yardwork), and after the first day of work, my arms were about ready to fall off. Me and a couple other guys loaded a whole construction sized dumper full of old wood and tin. It took about 4 hours to fill the thing to the top, and then we helped knock a brick wall down. I was drenched in sweat by the end of the day; it was so fun! Just knowing that God is using me to bless these people and this community brings so much joy to my heart. My passion for wanting to know God better is growing more and more by the day.
Thursday was widow’s day. Our group went to a couple widow’s homes and did all their yard work for them. We also got visit with one of them, and she was so nice. It really was a blessing for me to get to talk with her and hear her pray for us.
Because of this week, my youth group has grown so much closer together, and we even have a couple new family members! The people in this community need so much witness, and it was incredible for me to get to be a part of that. God has spoken to my heart this week and I’ve experienced Him in an incredible way. I hope I get to come back next year and do it all over again!
