Monday 7/10/17
We left
for the work site shortly after meeting for breakfast at 7:30. We arrived to
find the outline of a fence winding down one side of the property and holes
surrounding the rest, marking how extensive the fence was to be. We set to work
moving concrete to be poured into the post holes and nailing ply wood to extend
the fence. A lot of brush had to be moved to clear the area as well. The
homeowner, “T,” was extremely appreciative for our work although she
contributed to almost every project we worked on. She managed to consistently
motivate us and prove that she was stronger than all of us. More holes had to
be dug because they were originally put in the wrong place and T patiently
taught everyone how to use post hole diggers while also commenting how she
loved that all girls were digging the holes. A water balloon break was taken
and after finishing the fence along one side of the property and setting posts
along the back side, we went back to where we were staying and went swimming.
After dinner, we went through devotionals as a group and then went to chapel
with the rest of the camp. After chapel, our group stayed and sang a few songs
together and shared highs and lows to end out the day.
