Day 3 Wrap Up

Today seemed like one of the hottest days on the job site. The jobs that we are doing continue to vary, from hammering nails to laying sod to prepare homes for occupancy. What has been really neat is to see our team going out of the way to serve other people both on our team and with others. Some of the people who are a part of Habitat have been touching our lives with their own stories and making an impact on us.

The progress on our homes continues to move along, there are 3 main homes that we are working on and it has been really cool to see the progress we are making on these homes. But beyond the progress on the homes and even more impressive is the growth that so many of our team members are seeing in their own individual walks with God. God has been working in our lives in so many ways, I've said it before but the sense of unity and servanthood among this team can only be from God, we are truly feeling the impact of your prayers. The impact that God is making on this team will be one that will last always and forever.

We actually took some time today to go and visit a family that was helped by Daybreak's Gulf Coast team last year and see how they are doing today. While most of us did not know Glen and his family we could see how he was impacted by the work that we did. Just more evidence of how Daybreak can be the hands and feet of God outside of the community of Mechanicsburg.

We wrapped up our day by going to a local barbecue joint that has a national reputation. It is called The Shed and while from a quick view it looks like a real dive, it is a truly unique place, but oh, oh, oh the food . . . AWESOME!

Friday is our last day on our construction sites and we are all looking forward to it because at the end of the day we are going to a home dedication for families whose homes are completed and ready to move in. We are told that these dedications are very moving times and we'll probably see some more tears of joy shed there.

Have an awesome day back there in good ole comfortable Pennsylvania and we'll see you soon. Thanks again for your prayers.
