The Last (and 2nd) Post
To All,
Sorry for not being able to have daily posts. We have been having a wonderful time working on the playground and playing (well, losing badly) to the Lummi children and teens in basketball, etc.
Since we are having such connection problems, I’m going to make this one short. As stated above, we have been working on the cleaning, repairing and painting the playground. We should be able to complete the entire project, with possible exception of installing a new slide. On Tuesday, we split up into two groups. One group went to the “Stommish” Grounds playing basketball, Frisbee, soccer, etc. The group I was in went door-to-door in the neighborhood, telling the Lummi about why we where he, answering any questions and just having fellowship time. We’ll switch, tonight, and the group I am in will get to see if we can put up more of a fight on the ball court.
Wednesday was a half-a-day, and we went to Friday Harbor. We talk the ferry from Anicortes to San Juan Island. A quaint area with all kinds of shops and really awesome ice cream!
Anyway, we’re back on duty this morning. As this will be the last post, for the entire team, I want to thank everyone for their support, financially, but more importantly, for their prayers. We could not have accomplished anything without His Grace and your prayers. I would also like to thank Lisa, from MTW, the Lummi taking care of us and serving up such great meals (especially Maria, Edith & Butch), and the members of the Crossroads team (other church working with us).
In closing, pray for the successful completion of our project, a safe journey home, and especially for the Lummi people. May the Lord open their hearts and continually shine His grace upon them.
In His Service,
Andy (S.P.)
