Well it has been four days so far. I have been working at a home in mobile for a refugee family. I have been working on the roof of the home. I have put my blood, sweat, and tears into that roof. We have finished half of the roof and I and others are hoping to get it finished before we leave the worksite on Friday. Other than building the home, we have spent lots of time bonding as a group. We have played spoons and tonight we went bowling. The last game we bowled, we made a deal. The losing team would have to do the dinner dishes that were leftover from dinner. It was a great time by all. The hospitality of Mobile is outstanding. Everyone at the habitat site works as one. We all come from different backgrounds and different schools, but we are all working as hard as we can on this house. The church we are staying at also has amazing hospitality. They have enough food for us and they are willing to help get us whatever we need in order to feel at home. The weather down here is much like a Minnesota summer. It's cold at night and warms up during the day and is hot in the afternoon. Working on the roof makes it even hotter. Well good night everyone. Tomorrow we are off to a different habitat house because ours is way ahead of schedule and this new one is way behind schedule.
Peace Out
