Day 2 - Still Painting

Day Two started hot and humid as we gathered outside to get the assignments for the day.

First task of the day - Finish the painting in the rooms that we started on Monday. Today we painted the cabinets and the trim on the doors.

Everyone loves to paint!!





Today we were able to meet many of the residents that lived in the rooms that we were working in. They were very grateful to get a room make-over. Our resident wanted to give us something for all of our hard work so he brought us some koolaid and cookies.

For lunch, all of the guys wanted to give back to us for all of our hard work so they made us grilled hamburgers. Tomorrow, they promise hot dogs and chili.

During lunch we had some time for devotion. The theme of this week is becoming Fishers of Men. Monday we learned how to be the bait, and today we talked about what it meant to "hook" someone onto Jesus.

After lunch, we all got back to work. Some of the Middle Schoolers went over to the new wing where they were taught how to mud dry wall.

Tonight night was scheduled to be swimming, but due to a scheduling conflict was moved to another night. We followed another delicious dinner of pulled pork and mashed potatoes with games and a movie.

Who got painted more, the floors or the Kids. Keep up the good work.
