Today was a very productive first working day! We woke up early, got breakfast, and headed out to three different job sites, Mercy Housing and Human Development, Loaves and Fishes, and Hope Coordination in Golf Port, Mississippi.


 * Hope Coordination** - We helped move furniture in a house out to storage boxes and helped clean out all the rooms. The people who used to live there were very thankful for our help.


 * Loaves and Fishes** - Here Mr. Cain and a few other students helped prepare and serve breakfast to the needy. They also helped sort donated clothes so people without them could get them.

Amanda- Today i went to Loaves and fishes along with Jeff and Jasmine. It was fun, but we only served out breakfast, after we went next door and helped sort out clothes and label them. Then after wards we went to Mercy Housing. When i got there i mainly pulled up weeds, but i then switched to helping Ms. Glatts. I helped her by just sweeping up and picking up the big things and putting them in a trash bag for her. it was fun, and tiring, but a lot was done, but there is always a lot more to be done. :)


 * Mercy Housing and Human Development** - This is where the most sweat was shed. Everybody worked hard to tear things down. Tiles were taken off the floors, ceiling tiles were taken out and down, insulation was taken out and thrown away, old plants and trees were pulled out, cabinets were taken down, all the floors were swept, and the carpet was pulled (very professionally by Ms. Rusky and Ms. McCafferty, of course).

bobby - today i worked at mercy housing and had alot of fun as we woork hard pulling up rugs. me and max took half of the ceiling tiles as well. there's is still a lot of hard work to do tomorrow. i am looking forward to continue working with my " new family ".

It was so nice seeing everybody working so hard together, with no complaints! (Okay, maybe a couple.) But A LOT was done and I'm so proud of everybody.





We went to Sonic afterwards for delicious ice cream! Thank you to our benefactors for providing the awesome ice cream. :)
