Senior High Mission Trip Day 1

Everyone had a fun and exhausting first day on the job. We all learned new things to help build a house on S. Miro street. We all engaged in different activities including using a circle saw, table saw, nail gun, liquid nails, and a drill. We were tearing out some floor boards to be able to fit larger boards into the sub-flooring. While the girls were off doing the hard manual labor, the boys were installing fire blocks into the exterior walls. This included measuring, cutting, and screwing the blocks into place. While we were packing up from a long mornings' work, a man dropped by. He informed us that volunteers, like us, had warmed his heart from all the hard work that we had put into building this house from the bottom up. Here are some photos that can show the dedication that he saw today alone:

We did work hard all day believe it or not from all of our silly photos and our big smiles.
