Today was our first day of work. We split up into four different teams and worked on various projects. Group #1:
Casey, Jessie, Chris, and Tom these four worked outside all day. They did "cool stuff" according to Casey. It seems like they had a really good time and they definitely didn't want to stop working when we came to get them at four fifteenish! The house they worked on was up on really tall stitls at least ten feet off the ground and it was beautiful inside!
Group #2:
Will, Brooke A, Carol, Erica, and Katie. This group pretty much painted all day and they still have more to do tomorrow!
Group #3:
Brook O, Cathy, Sue, Jessica, and Brett. We worked on a house that had been flooded and had the roof ripped off. Our work was hard and dirty and consisted of drywalling a doorway and a ceiling. It was good tiring work and I know at the end of the day we felt like we had accomplished a lot! We still have about a whole weeks worth of work left to do on our house!
Group #4:
Jim, Andy and Alan. This goup rode around with Shelton. They were supposed to help unload and load things but really there wasn't too much need for them so they came and helped us drywall our house...That was amazing!
Backpedaling a little bit...last night we played hours of volleyball! It was really fun and everyone participated so that was great! We all slept well and woke up to a breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Brook O had a little trouble waking up so Casey and someone else (i forget who) came and carried her sleeping bag downstairs!
Tonight another group arrived from Garden City, KS so we have been getting to know them. We are all looking forward to another day of work and a good nights rest!
Much love back home
and ps everyone misses Brady!

Sounds as if life is good. Are getting to meet the families whose homes you are working on?
