This morning we all ate pancakes. They were delicious.
After breakfast we had a heartwarming talk from Craig Snow to help mentally prepare us for the day. While on our way to the work zone we listened to Brandon Cole's music. It was interesting. Music from Carly Rae Jepson, Taylor Swift, and the Back Street Boys were all part of our life after that car ride whether we liked it or not.
Yesterday we tore down the entire back side of the building (which was all rotted frame) to prepare it for a much needed renovation. Even after seeing the massive amount of work we had accomplished in one day for the first time yesterday, I was still shocked when we arrived at the house to think that WE had done all of that work in just one day. Yesterday had been a great day for work, but it was nothing in comparison to the amount that we accomplished today. By the end of the day we were looking at a near completed frame for the new edition to the house, and it was glorious.
Yesterday was extremely hot and humid with temperatures reaching in the low 90's (fahrenheit). Even though the temperature was higher today, no one complained but rather saw to it as a challenge to work through.
After dinner and a talk from Aaron on selflessness and helping others, some of us went down to the local supermarket to pick up some snacks. However, a simple trip to the supermarket soon turned into a slightly longer trip when we decided to check out a nearby lake and play on some playground equipment. I think it's safe to say the trip was a success.
Our last event of the day was a trip down the street to a local party/get together/country performance. There were some fun mini activities to do such as darts and mini basketball.
All in all the day was amazing. And I'm sure we will have many days to follow just like it.
