We did our usual thing building on the house from 8:30 to 3:30 today. Completed decking the roof and covering the front and rear of the roof. The team that I worked with completed the bracing for one side of the roof and began the bracing for the other, we will have that completed in about 2 – 3 hours tomorrow. Some folks from Rawls Springs Baptist Church brought us snacks during our break which were very good. My favorite were the oatmeal and M&M cookies which I’m still working on eating as I write this. After work we headed back to the houses to get ready for supper at Parkway Heights United Methodist Church, and to watch this video which is too funny to describe, just watch it. I’ve got to put in a shameless plug about the 30 hour famine that the Amnesty International group at UNCA will be holding from 11am on March 27 to 5pm March 28, this relates to the trip because the folks at Parkway Heights United Methodist will be having a 30 hour famine as well. Everyone here has been very kind in helping us to provide this help to Habitat for Humanity. From the people who have been buying us lunches, to the Churches that invited us to diner and brought us snacks, and even a gentleman from the neighborhood that the girls are staying in which donated $100 that we gave to Habitat. The best part of the day was after we stopped at the store and bought some toys to leave with the neighborhood kids. We went out to the park by the girls house and played soccer with the kids as well as football and frisbee. We also bought water guns to give the kids before we leave. All of these toys will take a trip with us to the beach before we leave them with the neighborhood kids. Also, as a point of clarification, I should mention that the ‘we’ that bought the toys were actually Ryan and Ben, I just helped pick them out and by helped of course I mean that I was there at the time they got them. Any way, the toys were a great one of Ben and Ryan’s great ideas and we all had a lot of fun playing soccer with the kids. As always the pictures from today are listed below, enjoy.
