this week was a little more stressful than the last, with many quirks here and there, but we definitely pulled through and made it work!
the two teams we had this week were disaster relief teams, so their projects were coordinated through another church who is in charge of disaster relief for areas in alabama hit by the tornados.
our construction team worked with one of the churches to reshingle a roof, and the other team was on their own during the day doing clean up and removal of damage from the storm.
for the roof project, our construction staff was a little blindsided with information, and didn't have a chance to meet the family we were working for before the team got there because we had such a short amount of time to prepare (the team and project was added thursday of last week)
so our first day was a little different than most, trying to figure out more specifics of the project while the team was already there.
but, nonetheless, we got working on the roof and started reshingling it all!
at first, hazelgreen (the church we were working with on the roof) was a bit shy, and didn't talk to our staff that much. haha. but as the week went on, they definitely opened up and were very funny and entertaining. we played all kinds of silly games on the roof to keep us entertained, and talked a lot about random things. they definitely taught me some games i'm going to take home!
we did go through a lot of struggles this week with "behind the scenes" things, that of course aren't important right now, but i think it was definitely a lesson to learn with our staff!
and although we weren't able to work with greystone during the day, they were an awesome group and so fun to hang out with at night!
at first, this week was nothing like the amazing team we had last week, because saraland set the bar so high! but it all definitely came around and worked itself out for the better :)
so now for some pictures!
