another week has gone by in nola... amazing! it blows my mind that we've been here three weeks now.
my days start around 6 am when i leave for the gym then come back to clean up and get ready for my day. work is from 9 to 5. before and after work we load and unload tools. then we have team dinners and then whatever else work that needs to be done for the day. by the time i'm done with all of that my body and brain are so tired i feel like i can't function!
this past week, we had volunteers from iowa come and work from monday to thursday. adam and i were in charge of a group of four and we had to do all the painting for a house. we got it all done and the house looks amazing! my team was really great and we had a lot of fun while getting a lot of work done. it was a great week.
saturday morning, we headed to a junior high for some isp hours. we built two huge flower boxes for the kids so that they can learn how to grow things for science class. it was a really fun thing to do and i enjoyed it! hopefully, we'll get to build some more of those for some other schools too while we're here.
i just finished my post cards that i got the first week i got here... it took me a while to fill them out BUT better late than never! :)
not much else is new really... we've finally gotten into a routine which is wonderful. i love knowing what to expect and what's going on.
i hope everyone is doing great and please stay safe in hartsville yall. mom's told me about the problems we've been having. i'm praying for the city and the people. and i'm praying for yalls safety. please be careful.
i love yall!
xoxo,
