It was another full day of ministry for the Farmville District Mission Camp! Holly, Quante, Dante and Kate all got up at 5am to head out to South Boston to glean with a team at 5:30am. They had a long, hot day ahead of them, but they gleaned 4 truck beds full and overflowing with corn! What a blessing that fresh corn will be to so many recipients. Amanda, Rachael, LB and I were on the Glory Reins Ranch team today. After meeting the horses, we went to work building a shelter for the horses in one of the pastures and painting the riding arena's fencing. It was so hot today (heat index reached 115) that we took a water break every half an hour. We made some good progress on the fence, and the majority of the posts are "planted" for the shelter. Hopefully the team going tomorrow will be able to finish up the projects.
This evening we had a wonderful meal provided by Mt. Pleasant UMC and a hand washing service led by Rev. Scott Beck. After some free time of playing soccer and Uno and reflecting on the day, everyone turned in for a good night's rest before another full day of mission tomorrow.
Tomorrow's mission works consists of the Amelia Thrift Store, FACES, Glory Reins Ranch and more painting around VUMAC. Thanks to all who have been praying for us this week. Keep those prayers coming as we continue to work through the heat!
