It's FRIDAY - hard to believe it's here. It seemed like such a long week, but now that the end is here, it's seems to have gone so fast! today we are hoping to finish painting Leonard's house. We want to get started early due to a parade in the town of Galveston. Leonard has told us the history of this parade, it commemorates the end of slavery, which occured right here! It is amazing the stories he has told us of how over his 80 years of life what he has had to endure being a black in a segrated world. We've read about it, but now to hear stories of it from someone who lived it has just been an amazing thing.
Gotta run - we're loading up - pray we can finish this project and for strength to deal with the heat!

Dave and Peggy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the Lord worked things out so that you could go on the trip. What a great experience to share as a family. Ministering as a family- so cool! Can't wait to see you guys when you get back and hear all about the adventures.
Make sure Jeff doesn't accidentally leave anyone there!
In Christ,
Ken
