so anyway, basically i spent the whole day painting...which i thoroughly enjoyed :) i teamed up with a couple ladies from alabama and we spent the morning and the afternoon touching up the exterior paint on the mercy house across the street from the church (this building was built and is owned by the church). this house is a distribution center for those in the community who need clothes, food, etc. it was built because a place was needed for the large amount of items that were donated for katrina relief (donations are still being received today!)this morning, the heat was intense! ...so we were sweating like crazy...the high was around 100 degrees and the heat index was even higher! it was still a good time tho...plus the food was great...we had some older women from one of the church groups cooking for us...they even brought us snacks every couple of hours. they were precious! :)
needless to say, the day was great. we even finished working by 4, which may seem early, but considering the fact that i woke up at 5:30 am...i was exhausted!
until tomorrow... :)
