Day two

Today was filled with many new things and experiences. In the morning we all had a time to do personal devotions. These devotions are nice because they are personal and have lots of meaning. Then right after we had our breakfast we grouped up to give out what was needed to be done. Today we cleaned,moved a bed, scraped the paint off the walls, painted carnival games, and had VBS with the Grace House kids.

Scraping the paint off the walls was a chore! On the Life House We had to pressure wash, then strip the walls of it's paint. To scrap the paint, we had a few people use scrapers, while others used their fingernails. It got to a point where we could pull off  big strips of paint of the walls.

Painting the carnival games wasn't too hard, it just took a long time to paint two layers of paint.
VBS took place right outside of the Volunteer House on the deck. We talked with the kids from the Grace House about how God never leaves us. We made paper fans together, sang songs, watched a short clip, and spent some time hanging out with them. Then at the end, when Micah was asked to pray, a six year old boy offered to pray for us.

We were planing on moving a bed from the Adoptive House to the Promise House, but we couldn't figure out how to get it down from the roof. So later, Dan and Julian managed to get it down by hanging it off the side of the house and handing it off.
