Well the team has done int again. They have went through the neighborhood and cleaned up so many houses and yards. I cannot believe their drive and exuberant attitude toward their work. It was so hot today and so humid it felt like it was 100 degrees but they kept working all day. I have had a chance to work with some of them and they didn't care if they were pulling weeds or cleaning bathrooms which some of them did. I do appreciate their attitude and drive.
Tomorrow is there Bar-B-Que for the community and I know it will be a good one. They are very excited and ready for this event. A little girl in the neighborhood came up to one of the girls and asked for a hug. It was such a small thing but meant so much not only to the little girl but also to the teen that gave the hug. They have had people stop and ask for prayer and just talk to the people in the community. There was a contractor that just stopped and bought them snowballs simply because they were cleaning up the trash in the neighborhood. That is what they concentrated on today cleaning up the trash. They are hard workers. Tomorrow I will have a lot of pictures for you to see and a lot to tell.
Just as an FYI for anyone reading my blog, we are coming home from 8/24 - 9/9 and would love to bring the pictures and information about being a volunteer for a week to your church if at all possible. Just email me on the blog with your email address and I will get back to you. Until then keep us in your prayers and remember...lots of love .. form Dovie and Allen

God did some awesome work in the lives of our students. As the "Mom" of the group, it was so rewarding to hear how the Lord was teaching, molding and stretching the kids as they weeded, insulated, painted, roofed, canvased neighborhoods, picked up garbage, visited with the neighbors at our BBQs and listened to testimony after testimony of God's work at Thursday night's Chapel. All in all, "To God be the Glory"!!
