This week since we only have one group, the interns are just going out with the captains to do work. This morning some of us went to MdA, with greg. We usually leave around 10 or 10:30 with a group. this morning we left at 8;30, and got there early to work. We finished building concrete forms for a wall behind the dorms. Wwe started to mix concrete around 1 and notice that all the sand for the concrete mix was gone. One of the masons used it all, and the concrete mix we were making was just water mix and rock. It was soo bad! nothing was holding together. So we went to see if we could get sand, and all three stores we went to had sand but were closed! So we decided to order it, and we packed up and went to carls Jr, hardees. Since we had the traile we parked a couple buildings down. Wwhen we got out of the suburban, we heard air, and noticed the passenger side trailer tire was flat! Wwe didnt have a spare so we called Todd and he dropped one of with a jack while we were eating. We tried one jack and it didnt work. Wwe found another one in the car, and it broke. Hydrolic fluid squirted out! We were in a bind. Wwe looked up and saw we were parked next to a Midis. funny thing! haha. We went in and asked the guy for a jack and e came and helped us. After we got the tire back on we thanked the guy and prayed with him. Wwe got in thae car all ready and the suburban wouldnt start!!!!!!! Ahhhh. so we went and asked the to help us again. he laughed and was glad to help. We charged the battery and got a jump. Wwe never got the guys name, and he would accept a tip!! He was such a nice guy, God must have sent him cause he knew we would need help!! Although it was a hecktic day, God was truly present and helped us get through!!

Adam

"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in—behind and before you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Psalm 139
