We welcomed a team again from Faith Community Church in Elkhart, IN. This team has been faithfully coming every three years for the past....I don't even know how long. They have become such good friends and we love that we get to see them often as they live so close to our family in Fort Wayne!
This team came to work!
 |
| The team! |
Dinner at our house is always a must!
 |
| Always packed at our house! Especially with lots of interns! |
 |
| More interns--what's that face, Kaitlyn!? |
Rita is a school teacher and she presented doing a special project for Minds in Motion. It is something she uses in her school everyday. It is to help the kids use parts of their brains while doing different exercises--without them even really knowing it! And it is fun!
First part of the team started building all of the parts of the Minds in Motion materials.
 |
| Rita hard at work! |
 |
| Painting |
We also added parking stops to the parking lot--so people would stop running into our beautiful wall!
Harold was in charge of this task--with Jonathan.
 |
| Working hard! Or at least one of the two.... |
The team also worked on the kiosko and building a cabinet for Candace and Aaron for their new house.
Some of us even painted!
 |
| Me and Kaitlyn painting away! |
We also had some of the experienced electricians work on some gremlin problems in the daycare!
And some of the team "worked" on whatever they are doing--besides looking cute!
 |
| A common expression from Bethany! |
We started out by doing a presentation to explain to the daycare teacher what it is and what it looks like and explain WHY.
 |
| Daycare teachers receiving the information |
Then the teachers had to DO the tasks.
 |
| Hurdles |
 |
| Rolling--they loved this part! |
 |
| The team trying out the balance boards! |
Last, the teachers got to go through the tasks WITH their kids!
 |
| kids going through the mazes |
 |
| These two here were probably the winners for being most dirty! |
We also had a little July 4th party with the Children's Homes kids
There were a whole lot of other jobs that I didn't have pictures of because the team was a little bit of everywhere. They also worked at Candace and Aaron's new home. Helping them move, clean, plant grass and whatever else they could do!
This team is always a blessing and we are so thankful to have Pastor Randy and Tammy Smith in our corner!
In HIM,
the crawfords
Always a privilege to work alongside friends at the church and project. Thanks for being there Crawford gang :-)
