I thought I would greet you with this greeting because it will be how I greet the congregation of Pecs Baptist Church tomorrow. Our group will be singing 2 songs and I will be bringing a greeting on behalf of the group and our church. The rest of the worship time will be in Hungarian so it should be an experience!
We have had a good first day of work on the projects. As you can see from the pictures, the students worked extremely hard on the three projects we began today: renovation of the school's music room, repair to the wall's of the school's courtyard, and painting several of the rooms and halls of the boys dorm. A lot of work was accomplished in spite of some language issues. We have two "carpenters" with us. They do not speak any English so our translator is running from one spot to another continuously explaining things. We are learning some words to help along the way.
Pray for our day tomorrow as we worship and later welcome 1ö Gandhi School students that will spend the next four days with us working. I am particularly excited about this part of the trip. Our FBC students will be able to build relationships and share God's love with them.
Hey Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI am loving these pictures. Out of the 21 kids on the trip, I would have included Jake as one of the ones who would get his hands in the thick of things! I am sure he is having a blast. Looks like you all have your work cut our for you. We continue to pray for God's safekeeping and guidance as you continue serving the Ghandi school. Conor and Jake, if you are seeing this, know Dad and I miss you loads and love you even more -- Kelley (AKA-MOM)
