What do you say.

Well yesterday was quite a day. We woke up in the morning and Headed to Buffalo Christian Center to help them prepare for the VBS they have coming up. Little did I know what God had in store for me. We finished signs and ran errands along with a little cleaning. When 5:30 rolled around we headed to the park for a prayer walk. There is a new church plant that is happening in the neighborood we specifically prayered for among other things. We had an incredible meal that included a Buffalo tradition of Beef on Weck. We came back to the church for our evening closing. Mitch had prepared an incredible message. Each Student had thier own task to do. In the process of ministering to these students they halted everything to minister to me. I love these kids. You all should be very proud to have this group representing you in Buffalo. I am!! So after a somewhat emotional night we all went to bed. I did not have time to to upload pictures but I hope you understand.

Finishing the Job

Well we are at Thursady and everyone is in bed but me after a long day. This may have been the best day so far. Our group has been invited back to help West Buffalo ministries anytime. We set out to scrap and prime a house. Gary, the foreman expected this to be task bigger than we could accomplish so when our group put the finishing touches on the final coat of paint he was extremely thankful. We even satyed over to finish it because our Youth did not want to leave the task undone. We even had the opportunity to teach "Hanky Spanks" to the children at Vive la casa. They really enjoyed this. To end the day we had ice cream and a bon fire at the house of one of the CIY leaders. It is fun to watch this group grow and finally admit Cody's team building activities have paid off. I think we have made an impact here in Buffalo and among ourselves. We have a couple more suprises in store for us and it shall be interesting to see.
