More Pictures & A Status Update

I know we are a little short on stories, but we do have a new set of pictures ready.

Yesterday we spent a few hours mucking (we have pictures of it).  It is hard work, but also very rewarding.  The team is really unified and we made great progress with the strength and inspiration from our Heavenly Father.


Today we are doing a BBQ and movie outreach to one of the temporary housing communities in Ishinomaki.  Our last BBQ outreach was for the community around J's Cafe - the base for Committed Relief in Ishinomaki.  Tonight we will have music, bingo, BBQ, a movie, and a message afterwards.  These outreaches are a lot of fun and touch a lot of people (ourselves included).

Mucking for Jesus

Yesterday we had a BBQ outreach. It went well and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Right now, we are on our way to muck. We should be there in 30 more minutes.

We should have time tonight to catch up on blogging and posting pictures.

Pray for strength, endurance, and good weather.
