Winds of Grace Tour: The Mission Continues

As we move further into the mission, the energy sustains and the work continues at an amazing pace that could only be the work of God's hands and feet. Even in such heat, spirits remain high and fun is still had! It's astounding how incredible these young adults are.

Jenna Dietz writes about Tuesday June 16:

If I could choose one theme for our second day of work, i would have to say it was ultimate TEAMWORK. The passion behind our actions together was unbelievable and we got an incredible amount of work done. We completely stripped the roof so that all that was left was the array of never ending nails--and everyone was gulity of serious effort. When it was time to put two tons (yeah, that's right two tons) of shingles and tarp material up on the roof, within seconds a fireman's line was created. One second there was a whole trailer full of heavy shingles, and the next time we look over its empty. Needless to say, we were tired. Very, very tired. But that in no way means we lost our enthusiasm. At lunch the boys (of course) had an epic ninja battle with garden tools to provide that hilarious entertainment to light the spark that we needed to keep up this work. In the next few hours our job was completely finished and we felt like we had really made worked our butts off, and each and every person walked away with that warm fuzzy feeling of making a difference in someones life. In the words of Jen, it was DOMINANT!!!!

Every day Solid Rock faces new challenges, but with teamwork and God's will, they overcome everything they face.
