We are back at the same house today. Each day we are getting more done and it's really starting to come together!
Today was our third day at the worksite. However instead of getting up at 7 o’clock to be there on time we didn’t start work till after lunch due to flash flood warnings. We were told that people in one of the rooms in the church were vacuuming water up around their sleeping area. A local soccer complex was a temporary swimming pool. When the time came, we hung, screwed, and fitted several pieces of drywall. We also installed more insulation. The sad part is that the more we insulate the house, the more heat we trap inside. Either way we are having a great time despite rainy weather.

Today was our 3rd day on the work site. We didn't get to be there as long as we were planning because of flash flood warnings. But we still managed to get quite a bit done. We spent the early afternoon installing insulation and putting up as much dry wall as we could before we had to leave around 5pm. We managed to get one room completely done today, maybe two actually, but for sure one. And a few others are getting close. It was nice to see some stuff actually be completed. Today was in my opinion the most productive, and I would credit it to the fact that we didn't start working until around 12:30 because of rain, we were a bit more rested. After work we went to eat dinner, we had chilly dogs and they were good. Then some of us went to Walmart because some people needed some stuff. After that was chapel. Chapel today was about trust, along with a message about how important it is to follow the path God has laid out for us, and how that will always bring us the most
joy. Once chapel was done we met with our group to discuss the lesson, then we went to bed.

Today was a very fun and crazy day. Throughout the early morning we kept on getting flash flood warnings on our phones and after breakfast we were called into the sanctuary and told we couldn’t go to the house because of the rain. When they told us we wouldn’t be going until after lunch we couldn’t find Mr. Hendrikse anywhere and realized he was already waiting for us in the van. Since we had nothing to do in the morning we hooked up someone’s phone to the tv and watched Mater’s Tall Tales (spinoff from the movie Cars") and High School Musical. It was pretty fabulous. Then in the afternoon we worked extra hours to make up for the morning off. Us girls also got to enjoy some very cold showers afterward...well Becca’s was warm (inside job:).
