All of our sick team members made it back to VBS. It was refreshing to have them back.
We gave the team a few options for the afternoon. Some of our team needed to get some sleep. For the others who had lots of energy, we had a group painting and a group putting up signs in Gresham for the Luis Palau CityFest.
Our plan for the evening was a quick dinner and swimming at the Mt Hood Community College aquatic center. We thought it would be a normal pool. When we jumped in, we realized that the shallow end of the pool was over 6 feet deep. We all became better at treading water.
The focus of our team meetings has been “Being a servant of God.” It has been great to see how God has taught us about service and provided opportunities to try it out. When we spend a week working and living with other people, God does a great job of revealing our selfishness.
Please continue to pray that God would help us become less selfish and more like a servant. You can also pray that we stay healthy and have the energy for the rest of the trip.
