Today was a very bittersweet day. It was wonderful to see the completion of the many projects that were started just one week ago and hard to believe how much work 35 people could do in only 5 days! After working 10-12 hour days in the heat of Jordan, I'm not sure many of us would have been very productive if we had to work another day. We were exhausted!
Despite the satisfaction of seeing the physical transformations that took place in the school and church, we were very sad to say goodbye to our new friends in Zarqa. We will continue to stay in touch through email/Facebook and will definitely keep them in our prayers, that God would continue to work in their lives/community and help them deal gracefully with the many challenges they face.
Pictures include: The wall, sporting all of our hand prints, welcoming students to the Zarqa Nazarene School, the courtyard walls after being painted, some of the team admiring the cement project, one of the painted classrooms, the completed youth room, the drop-ceiling in the foyer, George in his spotless, now functional bathroom (wish I would have had a "before" picture of this!), our entire team in front of the "Welcome" sign and John with the police officer who accompanied us on all of our Jordan tours.
