Professional Cleaners!

Today was a rainy day in Ponce. We woke up to the sound of rain banging on the rooftop of our room. This caused us to have to change our plans for the day. We got a late start but eventually ended up at a house is Bellica that was donated to TEAMefftort for storage and a place to make lunch. At te house we blessed the woman that donated the house by cleaning it. Katrina and Taliah scrub the bathroom, Elizabeth swept and mopped the floors and Becky helped fix the cranks on the windows. We then all scrubbed down the window panes and washed the windows. We made the home sparkle. Also at the house, the other half of our team built a banister for a woman that lived around the corner. We helped paint it white after they built it in the garage. We hope to install it tomorrow. We then went back to camp for lunch (that we helped make because we are awesome!) it was nice to be inside for a little to dry off. After lunch we went back to the house and finished up cleaning. After that, the five of us walked over to Luis' house an helped him carry wood out of his basement to a pile of wood at the end of the street. We were professional cleaners today. Tonights chapel was about pride. They discussed attributes that can be considered as pride such as wanting to win, not admitting when you wrong or making up reasons why you're not totally wrong and the need for attention. It was another challenging teaching that lead to great discussions. After chapel we prarticipates in the church's weekly prayer meeting. We prayed for the church, the community, and personal prayer requests. They also called all the missionaries to the front of the church and individually prayed over all of us. This was a first for me. Usually the missionaries pray over the people of the church but they blessed us. It was very moving and really showed us how much they appreciate what we are doing. Overall, we are all doing great, learning a lot about God and what He is revealing to us and meeting cool people from the other churches. We are known as the group the always has cards and spoons with us :-) Please pray for good weather the rest of the week. We are the last group of the summer and there are still lot of project that need to be completed but we can only do that if it's not raining! Thanks again for reading and please comment. We love to hear from you! The Puerto Rican Missionaries!
