Today was hump day. Most of our team over slept this morning including myself. That makes for a rough start and a quiet breakfast time. Our team prayer time has been some of my favorite time of this trip this week. Watching the students pray, read their Bible, and worship is definitely the highlight of my day. Hearing the students pray out loud for Real Life Children's Ranch and the kids is awesome.
It was finishing day. We cleaned up where we had laid sod, hauled off trash where we cleared a wood line, finished ripping up flooring in a house, and ran barbwire on the fence we mended. You could tell our students were tired but I never heard them complain.
The afternoon was spent hanging out with the kids and doing small cleaning around the ranch. We quit around 4pm and headed to the Hotel to rest, freshen up and eat pizza. Then headed back to the ranch for a service with the kids and staff. It was an awesome time of worship, students sharing scripture and testimonies. There was such a sweet presence of God in the chapel during the service.
After the service we hung around for a couple hours playing and laughing with the kids. It was a great way to end the day. Tomorrow is our free day and we have rented out what they call "Douglas Pond." It is a fresh spring pond with rope swings and zip lines. We will have a picnic lunch and then grill hamburgers and hotdogs later in the afternoon. It will be fun to hang out and play with all the kids and staff of the ranch.
So proud of our students and what they done and given this week.
