Today was the first day we actually worked. I started the day with a shower and used this nice new hair gel I got to keep my hair wavy. Later, we went to the church to eat. Kelsey Alcorn had this yellow drink that tasted like water and so when I asked the lady why it was yellow, she said, "It's... juice?". What I hadn't realized was that there was also yellow water for some reason, so I had completely embarrassed myself. After we got to our work site, we met Ann(e?) and she told us what she needed done. She left for a doctor's appointment and then later we found out she has to stay there for awhile because she neglected taking her meds... I'm glad we were there to help her though, in at least one aspect of her life. We thought of getting her a flower pot. Basically what we did there was replacing her roof; it was so soft and we could have easily fall en through... Oh well ha ha ha good times. Since the entire youth couldn't go up there for that reason, we took turns. While we were on the ground, where I was most of the time, we folded some tarps and uncovered their cement padding. The cement was under about twenty bags of dirt and they apparently hadn't seen that cement pad in 4 years. While working, we listened to Disney music; I didn't really know the songs but it was still fun! We also had to dig up big bushes & their roots--Hailie Fitzgerald was hammering a pole under the stump with a brick as I was holding the pole, but the brick shattered on my leg. It was all good until a few seconds later when Emily Matthews pointed out that my leg was covered in blood. Good times. Also, a SUPER CUTE icecream truck came!!! It played music and drove really slow, and we all got to get something! I got an icecream sandwich. After all that, we went to Walmart because I forgot to bring underwear and a toothbrush, OOPS! That’s everything that happened on day one!
