Buildin' & diggin' (High School Work Trip, Day 3)




By the time the sun found us this morning, we were midway through our breakfast and soon on our way back to The Source. Today we were mostly split into two groups - Alyssa was solo, and helping staff sort through clothes that had been donated and were completely disorganized, and Ryan C continued to help put up soffit miles above the surface of the earth - but e rest of us either worked on porch building or hill digging.



The Diggers: "We dug most of the way to China. We were hitting lava for a while there. We built a trench, 4 miles long and and 40 feet deep, and pretty much saved the world." "You can't even do that. But we did." -Ryan W
The Builders: "Oh yeah? Well, we built a porch all the way to the moon and back. So there." "We put in a billion screws, hung a million joist brackets, and nailed until our hands fell off." -Nick


At the end of the day, the window well was completely finished, and the porch was built - and the entire group was exhausted.



But not too exhausted to head to the Y for showers and to Key's restaurant for supper. Back at the church, we had some devo time, and then... CANDYCOMBS!! Candy had been hidden throughout the church, and it was our mission to find it, using a few obscure clues. Hindering us in our mission were two merciless guards, ready to send us to jail the second they caught us. By 2 am all the candy was found and most of us headed to bed.

I kinda think there may be some sleeping on the way back tomorrow!
