First Baptist Church in Beverly Mission Trips: Work Day Two!

Hello all! Day #2 dawned foggy and cool, which we loved. Much remained the same today. The landscraping group finished up at house #1 and were moved on to the same job at another site. Same thing with the folks turning over the rental properties. The roofing folks will be on that job probably through Thursday and the work on the hill continued with some folks organizing a workshop and some replacing part of a floor.

Celebrations from last night's group meeting included just being here (me, the cancer patient), having great and personable supervisors from HOMES who share history and their personal stories with us, and seeing college-age youth whom we don't normally get to see throughout the year.

Dinner tonight was beef stew and Peg's corn souffle....so yummy! Dessert later will be a surprise for Bryan's birthday as he turns 50 this week! Hopefully that will make up for the wasp sting he suffered earlier. We had one other injury when Adam mistook his finger for a nail head and got hammered! Thankfully no blood was shed and all fingernails are intact.

Tomorrow is our mandatory day off. A variety of activities are planned including whitewater rafting, a small waterpark, a hike back to Bad Branch Falls, a trip to a coal mine and museum, and shopping for local crafts and quilts. Some folks will just be hanging out napping or reading. We aren't used to having a whole day off so this is a real treat for us. Hopefully I'll have some pics to share of us having fun too!

Some of today's pics are a little twisted but they are courtesy of Bill S. so what do you expect?!
