After arriving on Sunday afternoon, we introduced ourselves to the 128 other people volunteering this week! We divided up into 19 teams, and learned about our sites and our team member assignments. We are working with JC, a Hinton staff person, and will be working at three different homes this week. We concluded Sunday with worship.
This morning (Monday), after morning devotions, breakfast and packing our lunches, we began our work week at Mr. Earl and Mrs. Dorothy’s homes. They are a brother and sister who live in homes built by Hinton in the 1990′s. At Mr. Earl’s house, we finished painting the front porch and cleaned and painted the side porch. After lunch, for which Mrs. Dorothy joined us (Mr. Earl is actually in the hospital right now), we cleaned off her back porch in preparation for painting it tomorrow. After a stop for ice cream we returned home for a dip in the lake and showers!
