Amazing Progress on the House in 2 Days!

For the past 2 days we were very blessed to have a group of 9 people from Grace Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, MI with us.  They were a fantastic group and were able to get so much completed in our house for us. 
In just 2 days they were able to:
* build all the kitchen cabinet doors
* stain all the window and door trim
* stain 2 room doors and all the lower cabinet doors
* paint all the walls upstairs
* build a large book shelf and stain it
* lay formica on the counter tops and finish them beautifully

I never dreamed that a group of 9 people plus Kyrk's parents would be able to accomplish so much.  For the past month the progress on our house was coming along very slowly, so this was a huge encouragement to have all of this work completed in such a short time.  God really knew what we needed and met that need through these willing helpers.
Thank you so much!!
