Boot Camp has been a great experience for me. Don’t get me wrong—the first three days almost killed me. As I handed Boot Camp over to God, I felt a weight lifting off of me. Even though I knew it would still be tough, I knew God would be holding my hand the whole way. [...]

The team is doing great! They are finishing up with some steel cutting and tying in preparation for pouring the footer on the bathroom block. We have finally gotten a little rain which seems to have dropped the temperatures a few degrees, while not making the road to Honey Camp too terrible. On Saturday, the [...]
