Dirty Laundry

Written by Jennifer.

It's now the second week and many of us are feeling the effects. Please pray for us as many are either physically or emotionally exhausted. Yesterday instead of our normal work day in El Gorrion the social work site went back to Antigua to the SI office to sort through clothing donations. It was really great to see that many donations were coming in, but it was less glamorous work than we would have liked. We had to sort through the clothes determining what was dirty (including undergarments and such) and then sort them in different categories. It was great that many clothes were donated, but it was hard for us to remember that we are serving God even with the tedious little tasks that we do. I know that many other groups were feeling similar emotions as some were twisting little wires for chicken coops and cutting paper for crafts. Please pray that we would be eager to serve in any way that is needed.

Thank you so much for your prayers and it's great to read your comments and know that we have tons of support back home.
