Moving Along

I have no pictures to post because about 2:30 yesterday the sky opened up and it rained, and it rained, and then it rained some more. We spent the morning rearranging storage at the Habitat office and then headed out to the work site. We put another course of roof decking on, set the trusses on the porch, and put up the overhang boxes on the front of the house. We got a lot done on Thursday and the rain turned out to be a nice point to stop for the day. It was hot and humid and we were all spent. On Wednesday we went into Pittsburgh and visited a water park for our day off. A good time was had by all.

On Wednesday evening, we began a conversation with the young adults about leadership and how they can take on roles of leadership. Specifically, we were speaking of this mission trip but the implications are more far reaching. As we talked, some of them started counting how many mission trips they had participated in - 7, 5, 12,... These folks know how to do this. So we talked about them beginning to take over the leadership of this trip - how to do that, how to encourage others to participate, coordinating sites, as well as many other aspects of the trip.

We finished the night off continuing our game of chicken foot. We picked it up again last night during the rain. Christian A. came out on top after edging ahead of Robin H. with 3 rounds to go.

In a little while we'll head to the work site and hopefully finish putting on the roof decking. I look forward to seeing the progress that far along.
