Arkansas Mission Campaign – Day 2
Well, we started out day 2 anxious to continue what we had started on the first day of the trip. During the night, some thunderstorms had rolled through and rain was forecasted to continue through the day. Because of the weather, we switched some of our projects around and the team split into a few different groups. Some of the women went to clean an old dormitory, a few guys installed some insulation in one of the cabins, and several others continued working on the three missionary dwellings. We also have the exciting, impromptu opportunity to help out in Hot Springs with a tennis camp for girls in the inner city, so a few members of our team, including Kendell Hale (head men’s and women’s tennis coach at UMKC) are going to help run that tennis camp for the next several mornings. In the afternoon, several members of our group went into downtown Hot Springs and helped play crafts and games with some girls from the inner city. After a hard day of work, we finished the day be going to a black light puppet show and a creative movement show (aka “Baptist dance”) put on by one of the groups of kids staying here at the camp. We have met a lot of great people as we have been serving around the camp and in Hot Springs, and we appreciate your prayers as we continue to look for opportunities to minister to people. Also, pray the weather to improve, so we can continue to work on the three missionary dwellings for the camp.
