Netherlands Day 3 thru 6

Sorry for the lack of of updates but we have been busy and at times had no access to the computer. The weather has been wonderful and let us accomplish a lot. The sun is very hot and when we return you will think we were in the islands instead of the Netherlands; we are very tan!  On Sunday we went to a local church for service and really enjoyed the message, we don’t speak dutch but each member of the team had an interpreter. After service we were invited for coffee and the people from the church welcomed us with open arms.  We went sight seeing in the afternoon and had a great time of  fellowship with the men in the program. It is amazing to see God working in the lives of these young men and how happy they are. Monday was a holiday here and we could not work, so we spent time with the workers and members of Teen Challenge. In the Netherlands it is a tradition that the Monday after Easter they light a large fire and invite friends over. A lot of people from local churches came over and we sang worship songs around the fire, it was great! Tuesday was back to work and we worked from early morning till after 6 pm. Every workday we have a lot of volunteers to help us and it is so much fun. I am blessed to have such a great group of people to work with. As I write this it is Wednesday after lunch and we are hoping to finish the whole job today as we are supposed to have rain for the next 2 days. The last thing I will leave you with is how wonderful the Dutch people are, they are so full of  love and joy. As we work we laugh sing and share, it is AWESOME. Thank you for your prayers.
