Bonjour,
This morning, we all went up to the church for a work day. We were pleasantly surprised that so many came to help. Two of the ladies were already busy emptying out each classroom, sweeping, mopping, and putting everything back in the room. Kristine and I started in the library. The library and the office need to be emptied so that they can begin installing the ceiling in those rooms. Everything was so dirty. We got two big bookshelves emptied and dusted. Then, the guys carried the shelves to another room. Gilbert and Mikim carried books from one room to the other. Danny was "working" on a tree outside. Bonnie was all over the place. Joe and the guys were working on the section of the wall that fell during the flood. They discovered that the wall was not attached to the foundation; no wonder it fell. They dug down to the foundation and started from there.
By lunch time, we were all tired and ready to go home. Joe took us home. We had lunch. We went down for naps. Joe went back up to the church and came back home about 5:00. He took the kids up to check on the pool while Kristine and I worked on supper.
This evening, Joe did some studying for his sermon. I need to go back over my lessons for junior church and Bible club.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
