Oh So BUSY

Today has by far been the busiest of days for us. We had breakfast at 7:30 this morning and by eight thirty we were headed out on the town. We were all split into four groups and rotated to different stations learning about worksites and such. We did have one fun station which is when we went out on the Lake Lanier and swam and cruised around on a boat. That was my groups first stop of the morning then it was to the next station which was a station in a hispanic trailer park that TEAMeffort had done some work in before. They were explaining to us things like how to build a deck or wheelchair ramp. They would show us one then explain the different aspects. Next was lunchtime back at the church. We then had a scavenger hunt at Lowe's which taught us about all the tools we would need and where to find them so our trips to Lowe's could be as easy as possible. (although I don't think my group will do too much construction, most every other camp will so it was needed and I learned SO much) While I was in Lowe's someone did not return a cart to the proper place but it found a place all on its on. Guess where! Well is you guessed into the side of my car you would be quite right. I escaped with a large scratch. To soften the blow though TEAMeffort had bought us all ice cream at Chick-fil-a so it wasn't so bad since I got to drown my sorrows in ice cream. Then off to a house of a sweet older man by the name of Rufus. He was the cutest! We did some work around his house so that we might be able to learn to use different tools and such. Finally back to the church for dinner and more camp meetings. PS I was cast as a main character in one skit in which I will pretend to be very self-centered (although I might not be pretending...) and be very tired from working all day and I want God to bring a glass of water to me from across the room. While I am crying out to God to bring me the glass of water (okay and by crying out I mean laying face down on the floor screaming) my friend comes in and tells me not to be selfish and to use the hands and feet God gave me to get my glass of water. Well after one more try to get God to just bring the water to me I give in and thank God for my blessing :) I get really nervous but I've done it a couple of times so I think I will be okay! Okay so now I am writing my blog outside of a cute little coffee shop in downtown Gainseville! Soon back to the church for bed!!  Love you all!! Please continue to keep me in your prayers!
