Work & Witness – Day 10
We got out of Sun Valley right on time - 6:30 a.m. we were wheels up headed for the Grand Canyon and points north. The day was clear (as usual), and already warm by the time we hit the freeway. First stop was Flagstaff, where we topped off our tanks (and, for some...
Work & Witness – Day 9
Another hot day today. However, we didn't have a lot of hard, outdoor labor today. Right after breakfast, Fred took us on a treasure hunt. We went about 2 miles south of the school on a dirt road to a place that Fred called "Treasure Mountain." We were promised...
Work & Witness – Day 8
A very hot day today, with the temperature getting above 101! But the humidity was low, so the weather channel indicated that it only felt like 95. That's still plenty warm. Today was the day that we finished projects and got a lot of loose ends tied up. Kay...
Work & Witness – Day 7
Today dawned bright and early, very sunny and very warm very early. The wind that has kept us cool for the last couple of days degraded into a fitful breeze that barely ruffled the leaves. That made it seem way warmer than it has been. Still, the work goes on....
Work & Witness – Day 6
Big time work day today. Everybody kept busy, projects were completed, new projects were started, and after dinner we all kind of collapsed into our chairs for devotional time and a team meeting. I don't know how we are doing as far as what we have accomplished...
Work & Witness – Day 5
Well, today was our first workday, and there were LOTS of projects to go around among the 10 of us. Sharla, Elissa and I weeded a huge playground before lunch, and then painted the main hallway of a house here on the campus in the afternoon. (We plan to do more...
Work & Witness Trip – Day 4
Another exciting day. We headed out at 8 a.m. sharp, for a 2-hour drive to Nazlini, in the middle of the Navajo Reservation for church. It was quite a drive, with lots of amazing scenery. The church was pretty amazing, too. It was the Nazlini Church of the...
Day 3 – Sun Valley Indian School
Friday dawned bright and clear in Tonopah, and, despite a REALLY late night, we were all in the vehicles and ready to hit the road by 8:30 in the morning. The high points of the trip south were the Death Valley Candy and Nut Co., a candy store that is about the size...
Work & Witness Trip – Day One
We all started out bright and early (5:30 or so) this morning, with good spirits (although most of our spirits could have used about 3 extra hours sleep!), and simmering excitement. After a few brief stops and a breakfast of Costco muffins, we hit the road in earnest...
I Will Raise Him Up!
“But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is...
