Hannah & Eric Beck working on siding. The very first day... done! I was amazed at what was accomplished. Most of us knew nothing at all about building a house, and we kind of just jumped in there and got started. I was on the siding crew, and I learned how to use a nail gun. I had no idea that it was so much fun! My dad is a carpenter/contractor, and it was fun to see what he does every day... and do it with him!
In the morning when Kirk was telling us what all we had on our list to do that day, I was thinking, there is no way that we will be able to do all of that. Well, we drove to the job site, split ourselves into teams, and just started working. I was very surprised at how efficient we all were, and in the end, we got it all done.
We learned about giving to others and sharing God’s love with people who aren’t as lucky as we are. I feel like I’m finally fulfilling a part of that duty. There was one time today when we were taking a drink break, and I just realized how meaningful this was, and not only the people we are building the house for will benefit from this, but we will too! I was feeling God’s love and appreciation for me in that moment.
