Okay, so now we know why it’s called Framing Frenzy.
The JRCWP that will be happening here next week will have one of their main media centers at the beachfront location we’ve been working at.
Part of the set up will include showing how Project Home Delivery (or house-in-a-box as we call it) works.. So they’ll be taking the lumber that we’ve cut into section and assembling them together into framing sections for future homes.
So with all of our efforts, we’re helping affect about 50 or so homes.
It’s been sunny, hot and today, pretty windy. The work is hard, the blisters have grown, but the work and people are well worth it.
We begin each day with a devotional, and this morning Craig reminded us to speak in more encouraging terms, to bless those around us with wholesome thoughts and words. We’re called to be a blessing to others, whether on this trip or at home, let it be true here. We prayed for some of the new friends we’ve made.
We started the day with the entire work crew talking about why we’re here. We were the largest group, Tommy explained that we had come last year and wanted to return, we told them that we wanted to bless people in a practical way, and Vic, one of the leaders correctly guessed if this was a mission trip.
The other team members were students, friends, a couple that wanted to take a vacation that made a difference, one woman who herself was living in a trailer, drove up last week and asked if she could volunteer. She’s apparently in the process of applying for HfH, but in the meantime, just wanted to work on the projects.
We made a big push to finish up the homes that we were assigned and made incredible progress, especially with the help of each others. As the teams finished up some of their jobs, we interacted a bit more.
We’ve met a lot of good people, and it’s an honor to serve alongside them.
Here’s the day’s pics.. stories to follow..
