Today, Tuesday the 29th, everyone started at their worksites. The groups ranged in numbers of 3 missioners to 5, with every group also having a staff leader. The location my group went to was in a very close-by town, Kyle. Our drive took about 2-3 minutes, compared to the longest group's drive which was about 50 minutes. We arrived at our worksite at about 8:15-8:30. Our staff leader, Elijah, showed us around the house and introduced us to the homeowner. Her name is Miss Creola and she has had work happening at her house for 3 summers. Despite the longstanding "in-progress" state of her house, she is grateful for the groups that come in to finish her home. For the entire day, Amanda and I painted Miss Creola's sunroom. We gave the walls 2 coats by the end of the workday of "antique white" paint. As well as getting the walls covered in paint, we also got a lot on ourselves. The other two missioners in our group, Paul and Caroline, worked in the bright and cheerful yellow kitchen. Halfway through the day, we stopped for lunch, which we ate outside. When we got back to work, and after lots of measuring and leveling, Paul, Caroline, and Elijah installed two large cabinets. We restocked some of the shelves and tried to put the house in as much order as we could. We cleaned everything off, packed up the trucks and drove back to the house. Showers were had by all and dinner is being constructed. The day was very successful.
