Wow what a day! Our first day on the job site. We had an orientation and met some of the Mosaic residents while things were being setup. We had part of our crew outside (with shade avail), preparing to build a fence. This crew dug postholes, first with a manual posthole digger and then moving on to an electric auger. Still there were challenges of lots of rocks! Boards had to be sawed and measured. Most of the fence posts are now up. We got a start on the planter boxes as well. The second group was inside, painting a large open activity room and kitchen. We had to move equipment and shelves from the walls, mask the edges and paint. One 5 gallon bucket of paint was used and we aren't done. The kitchen was also cleaned, with everything removed from cabinets/shelves, washed, and organized. Our groups demonstrated teamwork and enthusiasm and did a fantastic job.
The students really worked well together, even those who had not been as outgoing. Several learned new skills. One of the things that impressed me was that at lunch, before the adults finished eating, some of the students were already back to work. AND we are loving worship and small groups every night. The Spirit is definitely working in us and through us.
The staff was SO impressed at the amount of work accomplished. Both they and we felt blessed!!!!!!
