thursday, rachel guthrie

wednesday - was our "rest day" well it was suppoust to be, really it was a day of torture. we went on a 5 mile cannoing trip, we spent more time in the car then we did on the water. It took a long time and wasn't one bit of fun.

thurday - (today) we finished our project and said our goodbyes to herman.It was really sad and i wish we could stay just to see him. He is so nice and i will really miss him dearly. I can't wait to come back next year and see him again, it will be good to go back and visit him. He is worried that he will not make it to next year, he has some cancer on his head and is not sure if he will makeit throw the year. Now that his roof is done and doesn't drip he has all the more hope. When there wasn't much point of all the group being there we would talk to him and he told us some really cool but sad storys.

since our group finished our first project we will be finishing the deck, some of us anyways. I will be helping cut soup labbels since there will be not enough tools or space for everyone. I can't wait. Everyone is leaving tomorrow so we will have the dorms all to ourselfs. i have a good feeling that its going to be an extra fun time.

well time for some bannana grams and play cards, turning in for the night.... more tomorrow...
god bless you all..

  1. We decided afterwards that Wednesday wasn't really a "day of rest," but the canoe trip was a good chance to experience how our journey through life requires determination and teamwork.
