I think if you talk to any one of our missionaries, they'd tell you that the last day of work, was by far the best day of work. We felt like we accomplished a lot and had fun doing it! Even with all the frustrations we encountered through the week (missing supplies, etc...), we ended strong.
The outside the church group finished putting up plywood and the tar paper on one side of the church. This also included putting TWO windows in! The interns were skeptical that it could be done on time, but it got done! The inside group got most of the sheetrock in the classrooms/offices! Again, this was not all supposed to get done, but it did!
The group working at Matt & Sharon's house got the siding up on one whole side of the house! This is extra wonderful since they didn't get the siding delivered until last night!! They worked lights out and had fun doing it! Sharon couldn't be happier!
The plumbing group (or the "Special Teams Unit" as they came to be known) did a lot. They finished replacing outlets and switches in the Love House, took out a sink and urinal in the men's bathroom in the church and put the sink back when the sheetrock was up. However, the urinal turned out to be a bit of a problem and broke before it got replaced. But the sink is back in AND doesn't leak! woohoo!!
We are looking forward to coming home to Baton Rouge and sharing our stories with all of you! But tomorrow is Schlitterbahn day!!
Good Night!

Watch your language! :)
Glad to see the strong finish. It's amazing how mission trip groups always seem to exceed expectations; there's definitely a higher power at work there... Enjoy the rest of your time together and safe journey! Besazos!
