Another great day for the volunteers. It is hard to believe it is already Thursday. Wonderful progress was made at both sites today. At the porch site, the front porch was given a fresh coat of paint while the back porch was sanded in preparation for painting. The volunteer also did a few little items around the house that the homeowner asked if she could get help with. In the pictures below you can see a before and after of the beautiful porch.
The other site also made great progress today. The toilet, sink and shower were installed, but we are still waiting for the doors to the shower. They are supposed to arrive by tomorrow so we can put them in and everything should be working. We were hoping to get to the flooring that the owner already had, but unfortunately we won’t have enough time to install that.
For any of you who have ever volunteered with the PVs, you will be happy to know the tradition of breakfast for dinner continued tonight. All the guys prepared the dinner for the group, so of course the gals did the cleanup.
For reflection tonight Bernie shared about her prayer shawl ministry she does with her church back home and then ask the community to share how God showed themselves to us and/or how God was shown through us.
After dinner the volunteers celebrated the big 5-0 anniversary the PVs are celebrating this year with decorations and in true PV fashion a DQ ice cream cake decorated for the occasion. There is a picture below of the group with the cake that was taken by a drone that a volunteer brought down….. aren’t the PVs getting fancy. No more Jenny and Jill with 20 cameras like the olden days.
