Today was a blast! We put up the exterior walls yesterday, and today we put up the remaining inside walls and started on the roof. All of the students seemed very interested and excited to see how much progress we made. Several students braved their fear of heights and worked on the roof. There was one man who is a friend of the future homeowner that has been helping us out, and today we witnessed a miracle! He was working on the roof and almost fell off the edge, on the side where there was a drop right next to the house. He caught himself by one arm, and he said there were angels that were holding him up. It was great to see the Spirit of God work through us on our site today!
I am so thankful for the opportunity to learn more about our students, and to see them so active and engaged. I only knew one or two of the students on my site before this trip, but now I know so many more! They all have such great personalities, and they are so helpful to each other. I know we are changing the lives of the people who will end up with a home by the end of this trip, but it is encouraging to see how much our own students are being impacted as well.
