Today was a little different. Usually we would go to our site (desire st.) and start installing drywalls which involved lots of different steps from measuring, cutting, to finally screwing in the drywalls, and sometimes when the edges are not even we would have to sand them. All these steps made it interesting and fun and time went by pretty quick. After being done with drywalling, Alex, our site coordinator told us to do inventory of all the tools (two huge boxes). We finished one box before we left yesterday, and this morning we did the other box which took about 20 minutes to do. Later, Alex gave us a quick 101 on "mudding" and assigned our team which included Evan, Mike, Dan, Warren and I to two different rooms. We had to "mud" the ceiling which was really annoying and after about 20 minutes starts hurting the arm. We did this for the rest of the day and will continue doing this tomorrow leaving the rest for the next group.
This was my day at the site ^^
On of the most emotional times for me so far this week was the devotion today. Hearing the homeowners speak really touched my heart. I really felt good about working hard, and the pain from mudding didnt matter anymore. I just felt good about being here helping out these innocent people getting their homes back. Like on of the speakers said, "no matter how your home is, it is still your home." I'm not sure if those were the exact words but it was something like that.
That is all for now....
