Day 3: Tuesday, July 21, 2015
Today the group that is working on Castella's house with the unreliable porch got right to work cutting the wood that will soon make up the new one. We all split into groups that learned how to and used the saws, hammers, and electric drills. When one or a few of us did not have a job to do or finished a job, we went into the house and chatted with the homeowner. While at times we may not have had a hammer and nail in our hand, we were still building a relationship with Castella and breaking boundaries formed by society. It has only been the second day working at her house and we have all immersed ourselves into a world we have never known by getting to know someone who knows it better than anyone else. By the end of the day we had the steps that would lead up to the porch measured and cut and had constructed the deck for it. We were also given a blessing today with overcast and light rain for most of the work day which kept us cool. Today our team didn't just divide and work, we divided and composed the pieces that will later come together to form a gift from God delivered by our power to another child of God.

My group went to a neighbor of the lady we were helping and scrubbed her siding.

My group had some issues because the lady's house was too small so we did three different things, we painted her house and scrubbed her neighbor's house so we could all help God in different ways.

My group picked up a bunch of trash on the side of a river and the garbage ranged from nasty sweatshirts to bottle caps.
