Until next time....

We are at the end of Day 4 and we have met with success!  Our only disappointment was not meeting the noon deadline that we set for ourselves today; otherwise, the new roof looks excellent.   Our work crew increased by one today; a young man named Zach, employed by Hopeforce International, seemed to enjoy working with our students.  This crew learned a lot this week about working as a team, finding a way to focus in adverse conditions, and overcoming a fear of heights. 

After dinner, we once again took a trip into War; this time to gas up the vehicles for our trip back tomorrow.  This should have been a simple task, but the only employee at the station had a difficult time with the idea of putting the cost of gas for two vehicles on one credit card.  In the middle of the transactions, he ran out of paper and was unable to print a receipt (sorry, Maria.)  Our quick trip ended up taking us about an hour.

We returned to the house with plans to have a movie night and watch “October Sky” in recognition of this area’s most famous former residents.  Just as we were getting ready to settle in, the homeowners dropped by to visit and share their gratitude for what we have done for them.  This is the best part of being involved with Building Construction Cares, understanding that we can impact many lives through the use of our skills.  We wish to thank everyone who supports us in every way; it is only through your generosity that we are able to continue with this organization.

Thanks for following us on this the 12^th trip for Building Construction Cares.  Please join us we when make our next trip during the first week of October.
