THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: What
ways were you involved in "Love Crofton"? How have you seen or
experienced God work in you or around you, as you loved our neighbors by
serving them in practical ways? What were some highlights? What did you find
challenging?
I was involved in Love Crofton in three ways, I raked and
did other yard work at one house, painted a room and did a few odd jobs at
another house, and finally I helped clean the vehicles used for transportation
and hauling. I experienced God’s love on a very personal level after finishing
painting a room for Diana Schwestak. Isabella, Virginia and myself had a very
nice conversation with Diana when we finished up painting. Diana asked us about
our stories that brought us to the Kaleo Program and after that she told us
many spiritual stories that have unfolded throughout her life, many of which
affected me on a very emotional level. I felt encouraged to see again a very
beautiful example of someone who has given their life to Christ and doing his
work. My highlights included the conversation my group had with Diana, and the entire
cleaning process of the vehicles was very enjoyable because we played around a
lot and it was super fun. What I found very challenging for myself was that for
the first few days of Love Crofton, I was very sick and was unable to help out.
Overall, I enjoyed Love Crofton great and only regret that I wasn’t able to
help out for the entire week due to my sickness. I pray that us Kaleo goofballs
really did make a difference and encouraged Crofton and showed it real love.
