Just a short entry to let you know that we finished 3 houses (as much as we could do). We finished painting one house, we put in some vent covers in another, and put in outlets, switches, light fixtures, and an attic access in another. We’ve started popcorning a ceiling, installing a bathtub enclosure, painting and installing a floor in a fourth house. It’s been a full day!

We’re learning to appreciate the gifts and differences of the other 2 teams. Joni has adopted our Susan as her surrogate big sister. We’ve found that the Michigan teams are running on a different time zone from us, so they’re going to prepare breakfasts now and let us stay up late to keep on working (we didn’t finish till after 10 tonight). Cecily continues to be in command in the kitchen for us for dinner, but Paul and Matt’s bacon cheeseburgers with mac & cheese and pepper/garlic French fries were a huge hit for dinner.

Thanks for the prayers for our health. Seton and Dean H are feeling better. But now Susan’s stomach is bothering her. Fortunately, the weather’s warmed up a lot. We were working in t-shirts at 10 pm.

We’re happy that Traci and Mark are back, so things are running a little smoother. Mark got 4 of us settled into another trailer to ease congestion in the men’s bunkhouse. So it’s time to get some shut-eye in my new sleeping quarters.

zzzzzzz,

Pastor Steve and the M2M2 team
