Sorry folks, this is gonna be a long one.
Geez, I have a lot of catching up to do. The past week has been so busy, I haven't had much time to post. Well I do now! So sit back and enjoy. I know you all love reading these so much.
Another group helped rebuild Greene's shed. It was really fun to watch, and I even made a few sorry attempts at helping. By the time we had completed the project, Steve (their goofy carpenter---who claims that his nickname is "Big Daddy"), realized that the group had enough leftover materials to put shelves in the shed. So they did it, and they looked great. But then...(duh-duh-duuuuh)...the homeowner wasn't able to fit in her weight set. So the shelves had to come down. Sorry guys. 
Faith CRC had worksites all over the place. The group working in Defiance underwent the most grueling work, I think. Most of the week they were picking and shoveling and lifting dirt. It was tough, let me tell you. The even guilted me into helping them. Can you believe that? Most of the office couldn't believe their ears when they heard that "New Boy" picked up a mattock. For the record, people, I do work. I'm just more of the...behind-the-scenes kinda guy.

Oh! And we can't forget about Angie from Michigan!
Every time I came up to check on things, she was always hard at work. Wearing safety goggles and ear plugs like a pro.
Now, it's First Presbyterian Church (from Normal, IL) and South Elkhorn Church's time to help our 
community. I visited one of the 1st Pres groups working on a home for Slusher. When they first got to the site, there was nothing but a flat floor overlooking the valley below. In a few days, they've managed to put up both the interior and exterior walls. Things are coming along just fine.

Adios!
