We had a full and great day here in Christiansburg today! Today began with breakfast and a wonderful time of worship with Fieldstone UMC.
After worship we had time to change and get ready for our trip to the Cascades before having Subway for lunch here at Fieldstone UMC. Then it was off for a hike to the amazing Cascades waterfall. We were a little worried because they had actually closed earlier in the day because of the rain storms, but thankfully by the time we got there they had re-opened. It's a 2 mile hike to the waterfall and it is absolutely breathtaking. What a wonderful afternoon spent in God's beautiful creation. We were all hot and exhausted after the 4 miles but it was definitely worth it!
After our hike we went to a local church for a delicious spaghetti dinner, and Rich Meiser made it here after leading his own church's worship this morning to join our mission team for the rest of the week! While at dinner we received our work site assignments! Beginning tomorrow we will be building a ramp, replacing a door, fixing a hole in the wall, cleaning gutters, cleaning the basement, doing some yard work, cleaning the siding and various other projects around the home of a Christiansburg resident. We drove to her house and took a look with the project leader on all that we will be working on this week. Everyone is excited to get started (and especially excited to break up pavement where the ramp will go).
This evening we had a wonderful annointing service as we were commissioned to go and be the hands and feet of God this week. Now, it's time for some rest as we prepare for some hard work for the next four days. Thank you again for your prayers this week!
