Crazy Days!

Balancing tutoring, studying, and trying to help the YoungLife work team that is here has kept more than busy over the past week. I am at school nearly every day to tutor several kids and am so glad to be able to be helping them. My next-to-last Masters course begins this Sunday, so I'm reading and then reading some more in order to be ready and meet course requirements. And then the YoungLife team: a group of about 30 from the Chicago area here whole-heartedly working construction for some of the very neediest people living in one of the worst parts of the city. Their effort and love are overwhelming and so much appreciated. I have been able to help prepare concrete to cover a family's dirt floor and Javier and I have been leading music worship at night. I will post pictures soon!!! I'm happy to have so much to do, but would like a little more sleep one of these nights....
