Tuesday, October 26th

Our first day of work! And the heat broke a record. It was 90! and also quite humid. We painted, nailed, and shoveled sand, and got a respectable amount of work done, considering the conditions. This evening, we had a delicious dinner prepared by members of St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church. After coming back to the hotel, we had a very nice devotion led by Tom Swartz - these sessions allow us to get to know each other better. However, we're all rather tired after working in the hot sun all day, so it is bedtime!
