Jason Please Fix

What a great introduction to the week. First, I didn’t realize this camp we are staying at is part of the Church of the Brethren. Learned about them tonight.

Second, we heard about our fellow volunteers this week. Some from New Zealand, Australia, California, Wisconsin, Michigan and many from the East Coast. Most had been on previous Road Scholar trips and raved about them. One man has been on 15 in the past 2 years!

So tomorrow we begin to work on Heifer International’s Global Village. I have zero experience doing any of the tasks they need done which include, but are not limited to:

1. Winterizing the alpacas
2. Harvesting rice and cassavas
3. Building a fence in keeping with fences in Kenya
4. Making shelves for the home in Mozambique and staining them
5. Grinding maize

We shall see what transpires tomorrow! Looking forward especially to Tuesday and going to see Antietam and DC’s Central’s Kitchen.

Morning devotions are at 7am. Time for bed. I will awake with this thought: “May I live Monday in Christ’s presence, remembering Christ is near and will sustain me as I serve others for Christ’s sake.” From A Guide to Prayer
