So much to catch you guys up on, but we are still running on a really tight schedule and I'm sorry you're not getting much from our end...
To be quite honest...
We are getting an average of 5 1/2 hours of sleep each night and the days run together and never end and 11am feels like it should be 3pm and when you get in bed at night you close your eyes and the next thing you know there are 4 alarms going off in the room beacause what you really took was a nap.
We are all very tired at this point. We are fully aware that the enemy wants to do anything he can to break us down and beat us up. It's tough because it's not only the physical work load that is tiring, there is emotional and mental opression that has risen for each of us in different ways.
We have seen many great moments, however, I find it to be a difficut task and heavy responsibility to communicate how the trip is going for every single member, because we are all experiencing and seeing things differently. We have certainly grown as a unit, but from my perspective I can comment on these couple of things:
- The guys are working very hard on any and everything outdoors related (yard work, hauling more rocks, cleaning the soccer and volleyball field/court.) They are bonding well and deal with their tiredness with light jokes and laughter. They have worked so unbelievably hard
- The girls have helped a lot in the ktchen with preparing each healthy meal, the clean up process aferwards, and any other around the house kind of jobs (Cleaning the bathrooms :)
Although we DID get some help from this nice guy:
Pastor Mark Eiken having a little bit too much fun :)
We have another busy busy day tomorrow, but I am compiling a few responses tonight from different team members that capture their individual perspectives and experiences with different events from the past few days and I will have a big long blog for you people tomorrow :) Please continue to pray for our health, minds, spirits, group unity, protection, & hearts of service.
More tomorrow!
Much love & joy,
Kristin
