Trinidad: Day 8

Going on day 8 for Erin, Rachel and I. Day 7 for the rest of the team. It didn't matter how many days because right now, we were ALL running on fumes.


Even though were were exhausted, we always set aside some time for the Lord. Brian is taking advantage of it amidst some great sunlight and a green landscape.


After our "quiet-time", we headed back to our construction project. Absolutely no one complained! Everyone truly had a servants heart. They even stayed after quitting time in order to finish the job. (The promise of ice cream was a big motivation.) :)


The body of Christ working together. A great theme through out the trip.


Glenn and Brian taking a well deserved break. They probably would have liked to beat me for taking their picture only they were too tired to move. ;)


The same ditch diggers as day 1 of construction, Kevin (not pictured), Tim, and Reggie got to play in raw sewage; hense the masks. As I was taking the picture and not trying to breath, all I could hear was Tim cheerfully singing "Thinking of a happy smell, thinking of a happy smell."


Despite the tough work, Bri always seemed to have a smile on her face. (Especially when she is carrying 2 heavy buckets filled with wet sand and waiting for me to hurry up and take her picture.)


After finishing our construction work, eating, and showering, Brian, Tim, and Chris were reminiscing of childhood Bible songs.


Our last day of Bible Club saw a few sad faces, but for the most part the youth all had a great time singing, learning, and playing all in Jesus' name!

End of day 8.
