It was a chilly day today in Argentine. The building in which we are working is still with out power as Kurt continues to work with the city to get it back on. It will come on eventually, but like anything with governments, it takes time. We worked on finishing up at the snack shack building. We added a second coat of paint and button up our electrical and plumbing work. After that was completed, we spent some time doing some deep cleaning. The building we worked on had not seen cleaning tools in a long time, so we spent a few hours cleaning bathrooms, washing walls and windows and vacuuming. Some group members went to the Franklin center to work on trimming windows. If you remember, a group from Faith went a few years ago to replace windows at the same place. The task today was to trim those windows. After we were finished, we met back together at the snack shack building. The group spent sometime in prayer with Kurt, Amber(she works with Kurt and Emily) and the president of Youthfront, thanking God for the work that was done and asking Him to bless the building and the City of Argentine. We departed, enjoyed a meal at Applebees, played some more card games and departed to our rooms.
Tomorrow the group will go separate ways. Some to family, some to leisure activities in the area and some will come back to Sioux Center. We enjoyed our week in Argentine. We thank the congregation for their prayers and financial support. We are privileged to represent Faith CRC. Above all we thank God for good health, strong muscles and safe travels.
