Eli Bauder writes about Monday June 15:
Ugh. That's the first thing I thought of when I woke up on the second day of the Mission Trip. My previously-comfortable air mattress apparently had a small leak in it and I awoke on the cold, hard deflated mattress with only 5-6 hours sleep under my belt. The night before, I had pulled an all-nighter and that moment when I woke up it took a toll on me. After awakening (using all my energy to open one eyelid, I immediately went to the breakfast table and had an amazing egg sandwich. After the meal we packed up and headed for our work sites. Outside, the heat was astounding. I worked outside and was immediately drenched in sweat. Not only that, we were working on the roof, which is definitely the hottest part of the house. Immersed in sweat we pulled up shingles and tar paper. We finished [demolishing (sic)] one side of the roof when it was time to come in and have dinner. After one of the most delicious dinners, even we started horsing around and playing games, which is what I'm missing out on right now, so take care and thanks!
It's amazing how much energy these kids exhibit after such hard work every day. Pastor Lee must be putting something in the food. After such a great first day I can only expect fantastic progress throughout the week.
