We made it!
After a long and bumpy ride from San Jose to Texas we were in desperate need of some good sleep. After arriving to our base on Port Bolivar we were warmly greeted by an employee of the church and shown our rooms.. These rooms are similar to sardine can's. We are crammed into more or less windowless attics inches away from each other's extremely unstable cot.
Though sleeping was rough, when we all crawled out of our sleeping bags we were ready and willing to go. Today we have three teams doing various projects around the island, one team is currently painting. The second team is stripping and power washing a home. And the third team is working at our church to clean for tomorrows service. Once they are done with that they are moving to the beach to pick up debris.
Before we headed out for the work day we were presented with a challenge by our speaker Wolf. He challenged us to take a deeper look into our hearts, to discover if our actions reflected our beliefs. Throughout the day we are focused on this question.
We currently do not have service on the island and are updating you in Todds truck outside of a Hotel. We will try our best to keep in touch everyday!
