Day 3 found our team finishing what we started. The drywall hung throughout the house -was now time to tape it and mud it. Craig - our leader gave us a tutorial on the proper way to mud. It was quite a sight to see all 10 of us - (6 Grovers and 4 HopeForce) working to get it done. A propane heater got the place warm so it would dry properly and we filled the nail and screw holes on the ceiling and walls. Finished by lunch with first coat so they sent Beth and I outside to caulk around the windows and doors to get it ready for paint on Monday.
Susie went with another team to dump a bunch of leftover drywall pieces - you should have seen her hefting all that junk!
We were blessed when Jewel, the 80 year old homeowner stopped by unexpectedly. She said she wanted to cook us all a big pot of gumbo - but instead she's taking us out Friday before we leave at her favorite local restaurant.
Our word for today was comfort- Beth read the devotion before we started the day.. The scripture we read was 1 Thes 5:11. The team has been very attentive to each other, great example of team work. Once again we were told how our team was probably the best they've had.
Thanks for your prayers and comments - can't wait to see you all Sunday. Enjoy the new pics.

Hey You guys are amazing! All I can say is that I am glad to know you! You make me very proud to call you my brothers and sisters in Christ. I know that our Father also sees and how very pleased He must be.
All of your hard work to ready Jewel's home reminded me today of how our Father is preparing a place for us.... kind of a humbling but amazing thought.
Please take care and be safe. So glad you are serving in this way, but will be great to have you home again.
His,
Peggy
