Life Builders 2009 (June 22)

Today work officially started at our job sites. Breakfast was from six thirty until seven thirty; then the groups left for their assigned jobs. We started off the day quite well, a healthy breakfast with an exciting group picture of all one hundred and eighty (give or take a few) people to follow. Everyone was here and there, busy rushing around getting their stuff ready for the work to come.

Driving around taking pictures and videos of all the work sites, I got to see almost every group at work. It was an interesting time as I watched everyone do their part in the work. They had different jobs going such as some roofing and there were people moving huge stacks of lumber up the hill to where they made new stacks. Some other work sites consisted of demolition, drywall, more demolition, and even more demolition. Yes, today, there was very much demolition going on.

Day one (Monday) has successfully come to an end. Everyone that I have talked to seemed to have a good time. Some of the groups even had a little time to get to know the home owners of the job sites they are working on. More time for getting to know them is to come. God has truly been blessing us today by allowing us to all come back to the school we are staying in safely.

With all that said, I am going to simply say goodnight. There are more blogs to come, with even way more exciting news and information than I gave!
