We arrived in Broken Arrow, OK at about 11am. We met everyone here at Arrow Heights Baptist Church (where we're staying) and set up our rooms. We then had lunch, a little rest and refresher time, and then we went out to Living Stones Baptist Church. This is the church that we're going to be doing our work at. In fact, we got right to work when we arrived. The men started working on an outside project that they have going on and the women started scoping out and setting up for the VBS that we're going to be hosting. We arrived there at about 2:30 and two hours passed so quickly.
We returned to Arrow Heights, had dinner, and then went shopping for things we need for our different tasks.
It's now quiet time, we're all about to turn in. We've all had our showers. Tomorrow the real fun starts. We get to meet the VBS kids and the men get to really get to work. They're going to be laying floor tiles, and doing some other projects, that i'll talk about when i know more about them.
I can't wait to see what God can do through us and what He is doing in this community.
Please keep Living Stones Baptist Church and the people of their community in your prayers.

My Prayer for this community
Heavenly Father;
Please be with the people of Broken Arrow, OK and those of Living Stones Baptist Church. Lord, please open the doors for this church to positively impact their community. Lord, be with us as we work for and with this church, and help us to be a blessing to this community. Help us to serve in the right spirit, with the right heart and attitude, remembering that this is for you and through your power. That we can do nothing outside of your power and when we accepted our faults and shortcommings as part of your plans as a way to show your glory and power through our weaknesses.
Bless our work and this community. Let it be for you glory!
AMEN
