Jr High Augusta: Back to Work!

Hey there folks,

Guess what? I finally have pictures from the other sites for you! I thought you'd be excited and cheer loudly.

Catherine has been taking pictures at the other two sites (they are across the street from each other), and I got the camera back from her tonight.

The youth have been working so very hard, and they are having a blast while doing it. I know our site was tough: power washing, roofing, cleaning off part of the roof, weeding, repairing the fence, and much more. The other groups had tons of painting to do, among other jobs.

The younger crew is so excited about being a part of this. They are amazing. Our group sets an example for the others, and they work really hard. I am so proud!

Today was a tough day. We had a lot of work to get done, knowing that tomorrow morning is it. At my site, we finished tearing down the tin shed, worked on putting the porch roof back on, cleaned off the rest of the roof, power washed, and more. A storm whipped up, and we had to really push it at the end of the day. Just a little bit more to finish up in the morning!

The evening was filled with games, discussion, prayer, and singing. Great last night! They a=were still pumped up and bouncing off the walls! Compline helped prepare them for bed! Well, check out the pics and we'll see you soon.

blessings,
dorian
