Today we prepped some wood to put the roof on. The roof would have been hard for us so the professionals worked on it instead. After we finished working on the house we went to the Habitat store. While we were there we all had to pile up the wood and tie the strings. Then we had lunch at the church. Today's lunches were grilled cheese sandwiches with potato soup, carrots and potato chips. The drinks were sweetened tea and unsweetened tea. I hated the unsweetened tea. I mean I didn't exactly hate it, but I didn't like the taste at all so it just didn't appeal to me. This is the last chapter so read this please. Thank you.

Today I was working on the windows of the house on the front and back. I had to take some breaks because I was overheating, not cool. Ed and I had to carry the ladders back to the shed. Last night we played minature golf. It was a lot of fun. I had a great time just hanging out with everyone. Ducks were right at the door and it was weird but good weird if you know what I mean. Ryan and Jen each got a hole in 1. Please read this blog people. If you don't want to you don't have to. Misty and I saw two frogs at the house. I got a picture with it lol. There are quite a few more adventures for us.

Today we started the Habitat for Humanity. It was good to start today. Let me tell you something it was hard work, but that is what is required. We were working on the house from 7:00 in the morning too 11:00 in the afternoon. Got some bug bites. Afterwards we went to the church to have lunch. I thought the meal was delicious although I could have had it without the spaghetti hahahaha. Peach cobbler was awesome well I thought it was. The salad was spectacular. All of us toured the church and we went in the chapel. In the chapel I played the piano and sang Let It Be by the Beatles and Break Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers which Ed put on video and the best part is he is going to put it on facebook yey me. Georgetown was quite a splendid place. I walked around the shops. The shops were very interesting. Please feel free to read this. Family, friends I can't wait to tell you about this amazing journey. I am having an amazing time. I love you all and miss you. I got something for my girlfriend. Shh it's a surprise for her so don't tell her.

Yesterday I came from Edistow Island with my parent's and some family friends. It is an hour away from the airport. I met some interesting people such as Erika, Edward and Jennifer. Today we went to the water park. At the water park there is a lazy river and tons of water slides. I had a hot dog with nacho cheese and jalapaneos along with the french fries and the drink. After the water park we went to the beach. Oh, yes! The water was wonderful. Also it was just nice talking to everyone. As some of you know back home, to my family and my friends, I am really enjoying the trip. Thank you so much for getting me in. I am the only student from CLE Rockville, Maryland. I was talking with Ed and Jennifer about what music they listen to, plus there were other things we talked about, but honestly I don't remember sorry everyone. Tommorow is our first day on the job. Hahahahhahahahah this should be interesting. I love you all and miss you to family and friends. Shalom.
