Today we rose up and had breakfast at 6:00A.M. We enjoyed pancakes and sausage. We began our journey to Paw-Paw by stopping at Sheetz to get snacks,etc. Joel took Janet, Kate, Hailee, Lil’ Shawn, Taylor and Andrew to the Powell site to start to dig trenches to begin building the lower platform. They also built the foundation for the lower platform. Then they put the boards on the upper platform and poured concrete in the final hole.Joel went back again to the Paw-Paw library to upload the web update. Joel would like to give a major shout out to the Paw-Paw library for allowing him to use their free wireless connections, and of course,putting up with him for the past two days and the next three days to come. (love you Joel).  Adham had Carrie, Bryan, John, Tori, Carter, Ashley and Erin for the Athey site. They completed the decking  for the deck attached to the sliding glass door and also stapled the the balusters to make the deck almost done. They then started to removed the deck boards, balusters; leaving the foundation there. After doing this, they realized how bad of shape it was in. Joe had Melissa,  Sarah, Sean, Sam, Trey and Jenna  to work on the Delcid site. They built the foundation for the ramp. They also cut the deck boards and started to screw them in.  We again had lunch at Paw-Paw UMC, having chicken nuggets and fries. We then went back to the sites to finish what we could today. We left for Berkeley Springs to go to Trinity Asbury UMC for dinner. Lasagna was on the menu with garlic bread, salad with dressings, fruit and of course deserts. We enjoyed Hancock’s Worship Band back at Camp for our vespers service. For our site report, Kip(Sean) and LaFonda(Tori) had the crowd laughing at Sean’s impression of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. Kate also joined the party to report on her site. A group of kids went back to the creek to enjoy their newly beloved treasure, a rope swing tied to a tree. And of course, they came back drenched! As we sit here, we are getting attacked by annoying tiny bugs. Adham had to kill a wolf spider off a tent. We worked on the web update, relaxed, and headed for bed, praying for no rain unlike last night and the night before.
