Monday, April 6

Today was day #1 of our work week. Some of us are still recovering from our second degree sunburns... but doing better! We got up early around 6:30 am and had to be to breakfast by 7:00 am, which for some of us is kind of early! We did all manage to make it and had some yummy breakfast. After meeting the director and getting our work instructions, the groups departed for the various job sites. The four groups painted, put in ceramic tile, packed up clothing and household items from a home that was recently flooded, removed drywall and moldy insulation, fixed a faulty construction job, painted and installed a door, and one group was treated to a delicious lunch fixed by a Vietnamese woman who's home they worked on.

After arriving back from the job sites, we ate a good dinner together and had devotions and talked about the things we did during the day. We are anticipating a good day tomorrow, and a volleyball match with a work group who is here from Allendale, MI after dinner Tuesday night.
