Work Team 3
(Jack D., Teddy, Maddie, Carly, William, Kendra, Gayle)
Dear diary, today our team went back
to Alice’s house to finish the job off. The roof team bunkered down and pretty
much completed the reinstallation of shingles for Alice’s roof. What the team
left behind was absolutely stunning. Maddie McGill was deemed “Shingler Master
of the East.” The crawlspace team headed by Teddy Andrew after the departure of
McGill, ventured back down into the depths in order to secure the plastic
sheeting against the wall with the Mighty Gorilla Tape (It’s harder than it
sounds). Down under, the crew experienced multiple encounters with 30 legged
creepy-crawlies, some of which group member Jack Dager took a picture with (William served as photographer).
Jack Dager commenced to kill a particular creepy-crawly, “If it was a cat, it
would have lost three lives.” Chaos ensued though, as Carly Rogers was trekked
across by a spooky spider. This team 100% completed the job that they started
(the plastic sheeting, not the eradication of the pests). The group rendezvoused
for lunch and devotion, before some slight clean up (Gayle led the pack and
certainly received style points for her leadership). Afterwards, everyone said
their goodbyes to Alice, hugged her and rode off into the 3:00pm sunset.
As part of the daily routine, the
mission trip crew showered and the boys got in a “mean racquetball round robin
tournament extreme 2016.” The girls wrapped up showers rather quickly
and returned to the church for some mean “letter writing.” The team felt quite
Italiano as they dined on some spaghetti and the garliciest bread on this side
of the Mississippi. Everyone proceeded to circle up for a quick game of “never
have I ever,” and the team uncovered that Jack White used to participate in the
art of Parkour. We topped off the night with a quick candle-lit worship service.
It is currently 9:53. Everyone is asleep. I am awake. I do not know how much
longer I can continue to live like this. I have suffered multiple days of early
awakenings, and slight withdrawal from private showers. I have seven minutes
before I am taken. I am out of Sour Patch Kids. SOS.
The Lord be
with you, Teddy Andrew (With some sprinkled in wisdom from Jack Dager)
