We are excited to report that we have arrived! It has been a long day that began at 2:30am, but worth every minute. We have an incredible team of 15 (including Fan-Fan! - we miss you Julie!) ready for whatever lies before us. This team was ready to dive in right away. After moving into the guesthouse, the music-guys/gal did a quick acoustic rehearsal (which sounds amazing in the confines of the living room) while the rest of the team divided donations and packed Feed-My-Starving Children Food to be distributed to the tent city down the block.
The experience of delivering the Feed-My-Starving-Children packs to the tent city was amazing. Most of us have volunteered packing food back in Minnesota. However, to see that the food actually makes it and gets delivered is an incredible experience. The need is so great and the people are so grateful.
Once we ran out of food to deliver, the band led the tent city in a worship set. There were no lack of unknowns going into this. How would the people react? What was this going to look like?? Our drummer Kevin brought his "box" out of the tap-tap and started tapping. The kids went crazy! They danced, sang, and worshiped alongside us in a way that overwhelmed our team.
On the water truck tomorrow. Can't wait. Thank you all for your support and prayers.
