Early report from Berryville, Arkansas. 19 tubes of caulk, 6 gallons of white paint, a gallon of primer, a great amount of yard work and other tasks accomplished and our team finished with our client in Green Forest, Arkansas. The exterior of her home has been transformed and ready for her grandkids to visit next week. She joined us each day for lunch in her yard and our on-site devotional. Today's theme is on Perservence. Our group perservered and finished their work an hour before showers, so you are getting and early report and some pictures.
Tonight we attend the Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It will be a late night of fellowship, but we will have a great time. We are all tired, but tomorrow will be the push - all work must be completed before dinner tomorrow night which means all team will converged on the remaing jobsites and blitz for them to get done. I will work to update later this evening if there is time. Keep commenting.
On another note, here is what is up for the return trip home. The large rally with all 2000 conference mission trippers will be in Ft. Smith at 1:30 pm. We figure that by the time the rally is complete and we do dinner, bathroom stops etc... we should roll into Holy Ground at about 1 am. Kids will only off-load their bathroom bags, pillows and medicines. Plan to return to Holy Ground at 5 pm on Sunday for a trailer unloading party, pictures, etc... Everybody sends their prayers and love. Gotta go shower and rinse the layers of white paint and dirt off.

Grace and peace,
Tim-

Bob, do we need a backup plan for Sunday morning? :) You will be one sleepy Pastor. Brette may not be the only one asleep during the sermon.
