Seattle - Day 3
We awoke to temperatures in the low 60s Wednesday, so a sweatshirt felt good when we began work at 8:15 a.m.
Mike, Jacky, and Dan completed work on the playground Englewood bought for Jonah Easley’s church plant in Bellevue, Wash., just 20 minutes from downtown Seattle. The playground has two slides, a climbing wall and other fun things to do. Jonah checked it out when he took the first ride down the big slide after construction was finished. We still have some touch-up work to do on the playground, but it is 99 percent complete. Not bad for two days work.
Wednesday afternoon we began work on the swing frames Englewood bought for the ministry. We assembled the frames and plan to install the handicap swings on Thursday.
Englewood donated three handicap swings to Jonah’s ministry. One swing is for those confined to a wheelchair. The wheelchair rolls onto a platform and is secured, allowing the platform and wheelchair to swing with a gentle push.
There are also two plastic swings that are built to support a handicapped child. They will be attached to the second swing frame we built Wednesday.
The mission team - Mike and Mary Ann Montgomery, Jacky and Tommie Campbell and Dan and Lisa Morris - went to a seafood restaurant Wednesday night and shared dinner with Jonah, his wife Kathy and their three children, and Ernest and Julie Easley, Jonah’s parents, who are visiting this week.
Jonah and Ernest helped the work crew some on Wednesday, as did the mission ladies, who also worked at the Thrift Store.
We’ll check back with you tomorrow!
