Work Day #3

Today was a mixed bag of results for our work groups.
We enjoyed the feeling of success upon completing another job site, along with the mixed emotions of small frustrations due to lack of equipment to do some of the work and too many people at times on the job sites. We managed to make it a very successful day in spite of this!

Some of the girls along with Mary and Gerda stayed at home base to clean things up and do laundry for the group. The girls worked hard for a few hours until we were called away to the different job sites when they were ready for us to start drywalling.

Dean Wubben's group (Andrew, Matt, and Dan Wubben) managed to complete their job site for Mr. Lester Peters and he now has a new handicapped accessible shower stall! There was also installation of some flooring done for his home in addition to the shower stall. It was great to know that there was one more job completed for WEROC this week.

The other two job sites have been dealing with electrical wiring, insulating walls and ceilings, and putting up new drywall. Randy's group is a little further ahead of Don's group... maybe there will be some competition tomorrow! At Torris Bascal's home the insulating is completed and they have drywalled some of the walls and will possibly start mudding and taping tomorrow (Thursday). Don's site had a few minor setbacks with the electrical wiring, so this is taking a bit longer than we had anticipated. Hopefully on Thursday things will be smoothed out and our work groups will see some more progress!

We were treated to a nice lasagna dinner at the First Baptist Church of Franklinton~ a very larger, older church in town. They had their fellowship room set up to serve quite a few people! Once again we were able to meet some very friendly people who took the time to talk to us and express their thanks to us for working down here. It continues to amaze us how truly appreciative they are of the work that we do, and we are so happy to be here and to be a blessing to them in this way.

It looks like we might be getting some thunderstorms later on tonight, so we'll be keeping an eye on the radar.... hoping for nothing too severe! Tomorrow should be in the 70's and very comfortable as we continue to work on these last two job sites. Thanks again for your prayers and your support!
