I cut our training session short today because I spent the whole week stressed out looking for a chance to help after the storm. I think the most surprising thing for me was how badly I wanted to do this. It literally hurt me. This is something new for me and very unexpected. I could not stop thinking about how I had to be out there. It was not optional. I am so thankful I got that opportunity today and did it ever deliver..
We helped 6 families today. To see the smile on their faces, especially the little kids, was worth everything. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the last house we visited – a Nigerian woman who had 4 little boys. When we finished we gathered everyone around and prayed for her and her little boys.
I’ll never forget the look on those boys faces. There’s nothing in the world that compares to that moment.
