Lights On!!!!!!!
Our day began at 6:30 A.M. sharp with the call "Lights On!". After breakfast the groups headed for their work sites. The groups separated today to work on 2 different sites. 
Our group went back to the Liberty House today. We are learning that we have skills such as scraping floor tiles and texturing the walls with joint compound that resembles an orange peel. Its ashame that we didn't have a tan color for the sprayer since we were covered from head to toe.
We continue to rely on the generous nature of the next door neighbor for our nature calls, however we think Ben has worn out our welcome since he would traispe over frequently today to work on the cross word puzzles in the bathroom!
Speaking of Ben, we need to add an item to our mission trips in the future -bumper pads for the air mattresses - he has fallen off his each night.
During the day, a huge thunderstorm approached the house. Our field coordinator Jamie was wiped-out from carrying supplies to the other job site. As the rain began to fall, Jamie stayed asleep on top of the plywood in the back of her truck. Ben is seen in the picture on his way to the house next door for word search time.
As we were leaving the work site, a truck load of HEAVY floor tile was delivered. We had to unload it in the pouring rain. Yet we found out that we had the easy task. The North Carolina group had to dig a trench in the pouring rain at their site. Mariann thinks she had the worst job of all today - sorting our dirty laundry and washing it! At least it wasn't in the pouring rain!

The church provided us with a wonderful potluck meal. Red Beans and Rice, Crawfish pie, and our standard chicken and dumplins. It was a wonderful time of food and fellowship. We may be the only mission group that gains weight while we are here.
LIGHTS OUT!
