Today is Friday, the last workday for the house and we are looking forward to it. We are suppose to be putting insulation in the walls/attic. We’re going to miss working on the house and watch it transform into a lovely home!
Yesterday, we worked on the house by painting the ceiling and continuing to frame the windows. We also had fun while working and had a chance to play games as a group. Afterwards, we went back to our living quarters and set up for a dinner with the family that we are building the house for and the other volunteer group of 25 people. The family and some of the people in the community made the food that we ate. We ate Indian tacos with their personal stuffing such as ground beef, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, olives, onions, and dressing. We were all full and we loved the food. They also provided us with berry pudding with a fried dough to dip in it. Then we went to the museum and Jerry along with Jim led the tours. Jerry mostly talked about the items that were donated by Native Americans and Jim talked about palentology, bones, rocks and shells. There were so much stuff to look at and the museum covered a whole range of history.
Hopefully, with each passing day, we’ll learn more and have lots of fun!
Emily!!! How is everything going?? I really wanted to go on this trip, since I’ve always wanted to do Habitat for Humanity stuff, and the culture always sounded so interesting. I can’t believe you guys are building houses already!
I’m glad you guys are having fun. How’s the weather there? How is EVERYTHING over there haha?
I hope to talk to you soon!
