monday

Today was monday, and we did a bunch. We split up into two groups last night,
then we got a duplex, and all ended up going to the same place. We packed up a
bunch last night, then got everything else this morning. All but three
wheelbarrows were broken, so we grabbed those and ski-daddled. They fixed the
rest today, so we will get more than three. Needless to say, that was a
substantial limitlung factor.

We got to our duplex late (we left late, then had to go to Walmart for boots,
mattresses, and Brian Regan. I stayed in the car and slept, nap count=3), but
got straight to work. It being spring, everything was a lot drier, and ths
easier to shovel out. One group took one side of the duplex, and the other took
thier side. There was two floors, but the second floor got maybe four inches of
water. Someone had already busted through both at the top, so we could get
through as we desired. Actually, on one side, there was a hole in the roof, and
some food their. One of the families may have tried to wait out the storm, we
arent too sure. But we made a lot of progress, i think we may even be able to
finish tomorrow, especially with the amount of workers we have, and the ease of
the mud.

Lindsay, Pete, and Allie also got in today, and i have seen them all, and they
are doing good. Pray for safety and health, some of our team isnt feeling too
well, and i am extremely accidnet prone. And by that, i mane last night i
dropped a pry bar on my toe, this morning i pulled out a piece of wood too fast
(skinning my arm), getting out of the van i fell (i was trying to climb out of
the back), and i cut my hand really badly draining toilets. It is still
bleeding, even though it is three hours later. Regardless, Dave cant make me
stay here, ill be the first in tomorrow.

Well, i think that is all for the most part. It has been a fun first day(
regardless of my constant accidents), and i am looking forward deeply to
tomorrow. Ohh, we hit up the "Made With Love" cafe again, food is
still amazing. Devo should be starting soon, then we have the night and sleep.
Until tomorrow, hope all is well up there.

Take Luck,
James and the BHC Crew
