Ceilings, walls, and floors…OH MY
by Kaylyn Albert
It is yet another busy day. We are constantly moving, trying to get the paint to stick on the ceiling, painting the walls, and laying the floor out. I have enjoyed every minute of this trip so far – from the construction, to spending time with the kids, to late night devotions. Everything has been a great experience.
I have never appreciated what my dad does every day. My dad is a general contractor that works from the crack of dawn until about five or so in the afternoon. He comes home tired, knowing that he has to wake up the next day and do it all over again. Working these past couple of days has been very tiring. Dust has coated our lungs. Paint has covered our bodies and hair. When I return home, I need to make sure that I tell him that I appreciate him a whole lot.
This whole week has been about forming relationships and making the kids aware of trafficking. We have also done renovations that have left a deeper impact with me. I am not speaking for everyone else when I say that, but I will say that I can feel a restoration happening in my own life. And all I can say is that it is a good feeling. It has been encouraging to work with people around my age, who are passionate to serve, and to seek justice.
There is a lot more work to be done. Time to go paint again.
Thanks for sticking with us. We appreciate you following our trip. Be well.
