Mission Work

It truly has been a busy month so far!  I have started shearing the sheep but after 5 my clippers broke, just my luck!  After all the issues I have had with them I just ordered a new pair from Premier and they should be here shortly so I can finish up. If I could find someone close enough I would have them do the shearing for me but no luck getting anyone to call me back.

About every weekend this month I have had some teen activities at Church other than the one weekend I went to some concerts with some friends church and some of their teens.  Last weekend we went up to Indy for a Teen rally which ended up being very small since so many were on Spring break.  We only took up 9 kids I think which is very light for us.  However we did have a very good time and hearts were touched.

This weekend was a special blessing, the teen group had made a challenge to the adults to see who would have more volunteers show up at the new Mission work in Brownstown IN.  A guy who goes to my church is starting a new church in Brownstown and today we went up to help them re-due the building they had donated to them.  There was only 9 teens again today but we beat the number of adults from our church so the kids did a great job!  It was awesome to see some of them working so hard to help build a new church as well.  One of the coolest things though is that the Macedonian Missionary Service has came up to help build the church.  They have completely gut the building and started rebuilding it.  I was able today to help some with siding which I have never done before.  I also worked with Brant Lane which was a special blessing to me as he and his other workers go all over the place building churches and helping in any way they can.  I have heard him preach before but this was the first time I have actually met and worked with him.  They were a huge help in building the church I belong to with the building and the new parking lot we have in the works as well.  He was a super nice guy to work with and took the time to explain things to me so I was able to help them.  There was another guy named Paul who works with him who I also was able to work with and talk about funny!  He always had something to say.  All in all God really blessed this weekend and this month!  I have had a some really good times and am really looking forward to some of the things we have planned in April to do with the teen group.  God Bless!
