Day 3: The work continues

We headed out bright and early to a beautiful day, (for those back home in 40 degrees, we are sorry ;) ) and boy the time flew!

On Pauger, Sheri and Sandy tackled a ceiling in on the deck. While Joyce and Sarah began scrapping the side windows. Edie cleaned mold and mildew from the soffits all around the back of the home. (Pop quiz: where on the house are soffits?) Colette was hard at work evening out the floor in a half-bathroom off the main room. Jimmie worked with Eric on evening out the floors and putting back in the sub-flooring.  Enjoy the picture medley below tracking our progress via Sheri.
















And the simple truth, our folks on Overton have to begin to really feel the heat of a home without a roof.  At the time of this posting, 9pm Central time, they have all headed straight to bed. Hopefully, tomorrow we will have some pictures of the progress they have made. I have heard custom windows have been placed.

Though we feel just as tired this evening, the folks of Pauger left a little early today and came back to cook dinner for the 35 volunteers at Olive Tree. We received a round of applause at the close of devotions for providing such a delicious meal.

The church group from Atlanta officially closed our evening with a reflection, "Joys, Junk and Jesus," They asked all the volunteers to share good information from their day, bad experiences and where they experienced Jesus. I am reminded of Edie's sharing that God has made us capable for the tasks we will face this week, trust all that is required.



















Thank you again for joining us, I am sorry you could not enjoy Sheri's apple crisp, it was delicious!  Maybe next year?
