Thursday News

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, people of all... er... I guess you know where I am going with this. I am Ryan S., and I am writing to update you all back in good o'l Ohio on what happened in Cherokee today.

In the Paintown gymnasium, we spent our last day with the little guys. It was a great day. We played a game of organized soccer, and also a basketball game. We also finished teaching the kids the gospel message through the colored bracelets. At the house worksite, we got the first coat of blue paint on the top part of the house. We are going to put the second coat on tomorrow.

Before the painting portion of the day, we talked about an our theme verse...

" Serve the Lord wholeheartedly as if you were serving the Lord, not men."
- Ephesians 6:7

You know, as the week is winding down, so is our willingness to serve the Lord, and it gets really hard to think about what he Lord would want instead of ourselves. I had to constantly be on my toes to remind myself to only cater to our Creator, not ourselves. I'm sure others are in the same boat as me as well. So I am asking you to pray for us as a team, especially as this great week draws to close. I mean, we are all going to be hot, sweaty, and are going to be prone to sin. Thanks!
