Friday Finale

Today was our final full day. The week flew by!!! It was kind of a hectic one. We left around 8:30 to go to the job site. On the way there, the back of the bus door was not fully shut and magically opened itself as we were on the back roads. Luckily, Debbie shut it and managed to stay in the bus. We arrived at the house after and began working shortly after. The group was finishing up on the final touches of the house. Bob worked on the tile and accessorized the front porch posts with decorative wood encasing. Doug and Walt/Henry continued to work on the trim in the house. It is nearly complete and looks beautiful. Trent was cocking the seams of the trim. Debbie, Doreen, Laura, and I installed the door handles and struggled our way through putting the rods in the closet up. During this process, another one of those funny moments occurred. We managed to break the screw for the rod in the closer. Luckily Walt/Henry was our super man and saved the day.  Tons of giggles were shared though especially when the next funny moment happened. Out of all the screws in the boards we managed to find one covered over conveniently where we need to put the bracket screw.   Debbie gave Georgia this beautiful prayer shawl and the group gave her a beautiful handmade wooden cross. She was in tears because she was so happy. It was one of those special God moments. We even got to eat lunch outside and enjoyed the sunny 64 degree day. I never want to leave if the weather stays this way. For our final adventure, we went to the Braum's Ice Cream Store. For three ice creams, it was only 7 dollars and it was delicious! (Hint week 2 go there!) Tomorrow we continue working for part of the morning and then we are back on our way to Pittsburgh. I hope to see you all soon!

Sincerely,

Andrea
