Tired Tuesday

April 7, 2010 by MarkH.

Tuesday- Our morning started off bright and early, contrary to Mosey Monday. The breakfast bell rang at 8 o’clock, and a pack of hungry workers came running. We vigorously ate, hoping to get to our worksites for our first full day of work.

Crews conquered the various tasks of dry walling, insulating, painting, tiling, cleaning and dumpster diving, and arrived back at home base tired and sore.

Showers were viscously fought over between youth and adults because all were smelly and drenched in sweat. But it was all worth it for a night of fun!

After showers, crews gathered in the John Wesley Recreation building, which served as YOAM’s dining hall.The excitement filled the room as we all lined up for George Dohner’s delectable Jambalaya.

We also celebrated John Stapleton’s (aka Papa John’s) birthday with a rounding chorus of Happy Birthday and a gigantic birthday cake, covered from corner to corner with 51 candles.

            As free time rolled around, the different groups piled into cars to visit the hot spots around town, which consist of Wal-Mart and Sonic. We wrapped up the night with our daily Thanksgiving circle and shared the things we were thankful for throughout the day. Until tomorrow…From Slidell!
