Day 5: Thursday, July 23, 2015
Today in my group, after a french toast breakfast, we headed out to Castella's for our last day of work. As usual I went to greet her in the morning and watch some old game shows. I always enjoy watching the smile appear on Castella's face as we come in to talk to her. We worked really hard today, probably put in the most effort. We stayed until we got the job done which was probably until 4:30. We were so determined to finish the porch and when we did she was so happy. It was really sweet when she prayed for us. When we got back, all the local kids, teens, and parents were there as well for the cook out and performance from the little kids. We ate good hamburgers and watermelon outside with everyone and then had to clean kitchen and bathroom (ew). The little kids showed off their dance moves and then there was basketball games to watch and ice cream to eat and shirts to buy. We ended the night with a quick jam sesh and got ready for the early morning the next day!

Today we all woke up early and my group hurried to the Powells house to finish our project. We came to find that our helper Joe was already there, which was a great surprise. Most of us stayed to finish up the floor, and some of us went to Debbie Powell's sister's house to wash more siding. At around 2 we said our goodbyes, took pictures and went back to the school. When we got back, we had a cookout with great burgers that Ted made. It was our chore day, so we cleaned up after dinner, and we cleaned the gross bathroom. We watched a performance the little kids from the community set up, and then had ice cream. Some of the people in our group participated in the 3v3 basketball tournament, and everyone watched. One group lost in the first group, and the other got in second place. We ended the night late with a quick group worship before we went straight to bed!
