Getting The Job Done!

Posted by MelissaFriesen

I am constantly amazed at how hard the volunteers work and how much gets accomplished when so many willing hands come together to get a job done.

Yesterday, I had asked several of the volunteers to transfer things out of old plastic totes and cardboard boxes that were being stored up on our balcony into the new sturdy waterproof tubs that came on the last container.  Next thing I knew, I came upstairs and all of the other volunteers that were at the main house had joined in, and EVERYTHING was getting sorted out, cleaned and organized.  I was so impressed!  They worked so hard and I know that they were very tired by the end of the day.  They even encountered two rats…a dead one and a living one that jumped out at them!  I give them so much credit and I am thankful everyday for the volunteers that God keeps sending us who are willing to help out wherever is needed, without one word of complaint. 

We ended off the day with heading up to Ft. Jacques and joining the crew that had been working there for the day and we had a big hot dog roast for dinner.  It was such a great way to end the day!

Today we are heading up to Kenscoff to distribute some awesome bags of supplies that were made up with items from the containers.  Thanks to your generosity, we are able to help some people who are in need, and make their day a lot brighter today!  So thank YOU all so much!  Without you, we would not be able to do this!

God bless you all on this Wednesday, in whatever your day hold for you!
