What an awesome week! On Friday, July 18, Meredith and I left with 45 others from our church to go to Cornwall, ON for World Changers. We stopped in Pennsylvania on Friday night and arrived in Cornwall on Saturday. Our home for the week was St. Lawrence College, nestled right beside the St. Lawrence River. On Sunday we met our crews! I have to say, I had the most awesome crew ever. Our crew worked hard and we all got along. Our project was to tear down and rebuild a front porch and repair steps in the back. The homeowners were Joyce and Vic. They were great, Joyce is having some health issues and we continue to pray for her healing. We did go prayer walking through the neighborhood, and found out how lost the area was. There were people who told us not to pray for them, as well as people who wouldn't even speak to us. My prayer is that someone will be able to bring the gospel in and the people's hearts will be willing to hear. Members of our crew were from Wake Forest, NC, Canton, NC, and Huntington, WV. It was great to get to know each of them and to work along side of them. On Wednesday, we spent the afternoon in Ottawa, ON (the capital of Canada). We visited the Parliament building, saw many museums, and the Notre Dame Cathedral (not the one in Paris, but it was very close). We went to the Hard Rock Cafe for supper. I think one thing I'll miss besides my crew, is the Rolo McFlurries! Anyway, I am glad to be home!
