teamwork.

We started with two truckloads of dirt, delivered on Saturday and needing to be more evenly distributed. One lonely Stephen working. This was at 5:30pm, after a day at the office & hospital.

Within twenty minutes, we had one more adult and five or so teenagers helping. With time, we gained a few more adults and even more kids helping any way they could. And we worked our way into darkness.

And then we had dinner together!  I have learned to keep something on hand, and Mama noodles are certainly popular.

They then set back to work on a second shift, working until 8:30pm.

And they successfully evened out the dirt so it’s ready to be watered and planted! This photo was taken this morning to best capture the successful work.

We’re pretty thankful for teamwork.

Even with three hours’ worth of blisters, that is certainly better than the many days of blisters it would have taken us to go it alone!
