Painting, the group, and more. (Allison)

Over the past few days I have continued painting the house I originally started on. It is really nice to see the progress we have made, and now the house is almost done. I have really enjoyed working with everyone to put the hard work into that house because now it looks so beautiful.

Besides working we have been doing many other things, like going into the city, playing four square, or just talking. The group has really come together and really supports each other. It is nice to be working with the group to get all of these different projects done. Everyone supports each other, works hard, and is having a lot of fun doing things that most people would consider boring, or tiring (like composting, or digging up stumps, or cleaning the floor after dinner).

Overall this trip has been a great experience, and I cannot tell you how many people are upset we are leaving so soon. Even though we have been waking up at 6:30 every morning, and working all day, and going to bed really late everyone is having the times of our lives, and we all want to have a lot more time here.
