June 23rd- Awaking early at 6:00 A.M, all the volunteers got ready to do some hard work, just what we came down here to do :). After a quick breakfast and showers for a few, Father Vince met up with us and joined us in prayer before heading out to the site. With everybody at the same sight, it was not long before everybody found work to do. All at once, five different projects were going on: power washing the house, tearing up the deck to replace the rotten boards, laying the basis for a wheelchair ramp, replacing a broken window, and fixing the atrocious roof job left half finished. After a long day of work, including help from Father Vince and his father (aka smokey, joe, or gpa), the deck was completed, along with the roof and most of the power washing. The window was also put into place. The lady we have been helping, an eighty year old widow named Martha, was excited and really happy for all the work that we could do for her today. She is absolutely ecstatic for us to come back tomorrow. After working all day, we made a quick run to the lake for a little swim, fun, and games. For all those following or checking in, please join us in the rosary at 9:00 P.M for Dave Bauer and his family. May God bless you :)!
