"Saturday, we had a great time going to the baseball game even though the home team lost. Sunday we arrived in Philippi safely. Monday, we started two projects: siding the community center in Brownton and painting a house. Tuesday, we continued siding and painting and began putting a deck on the house as well. Wednesday, we had fun at an amusement park and enjoyed a worship service with the local Brownton Church. The weather has been great and we are enjoying our experience. Thanks for your prayers, and we will see you soon!"
