50 homes in 50 hours

In the midst of a very busy Memorial Day weekend, we were lucky enough to have some time to help out with this amazing project that I heard about on K-Love. A church on the other side of town was running a project to build 50 homes for Haiti in 50 hours. Volunteers would build the pieces of the houses and then they'd be shipped to Haiti and constructed on sight. I REALLY wanted to do it, and the Chapmans were nice enough to watch the boys during our 5 hour shift AND let us go out to dinner too!
Mark and Melynda were able to join us so it was a good day of service and hanging out. We started out the shift building "wall C". I'm not good with a hammer and banged my thumb A LOT, but it felt good to actually help with the building. In 2 hours, we completed 8 walls and were told to stop because we were going too fast. Then they shipped us out into the sun where we helped stack the walls and band them together for shipping.
It was a long hot day but well worth it! We were able to exceed our goal and ended up building 75 houses! God is good!
