working in PA

Talk about busy we have now been here six weeks and Im telling you it has been a busy 6 weeks. The floors in the kitchen and bathroom were starting to rot out. The wood loggs that were the support had rot and beetles had eaten away at them. This house dates back to 1915, So there was a little more work than we initially thought. Since getting here we (Jon) has put on a new roof, put in supporting beams, knocked out walls, built in some more closest, hung new doors, hung new windows, put up sheetrock, finished the sheetrock,etc….. We (and yes we now..lol) just finished priming the walls. Today we are hanging trim and putting in the hard wood floor and kitchen floor. the cabinets and appliances are coming tomorrow. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. I cant wait to show you all the before and after pictures.. God is so good. There are so many things that could have gone wrong and God has had His hand in all of it and given everyone safety doing the work.. There have been many men coming and helping with this project. We so appreciate it. We know that most of them work full time jobs themselves then come here on days off and saturdays to work. I know that God will bless them greatly for it.
One thing about our ministry that I do love is being able to spend time with the people of the church and “really” get to know each of them. But it also makes it sad because we have to leave.. Jon Caden has made a dear little friend here. Her name is Ivy. He even had to wear cologne to go see her last night..hahahahaha NO WE ARE NOT PROMOTING THEM TO START THIS YOUNG, BUT IT IS SOOO CUTE..lol So he is already sad to have to leave her.. I know I say this over and over, but God is so good. I just can’t thank him enough for what he does for us. I am so humbled by His calling on our lives.
