getting into the swing of things.

so we are at a girl scout camp in maryland, renovating a bunch of things in one of the buildings. i learned/did a bunch of electric work yesterday, today i did more electric, sanding, varnishing, painting, and other things i can't remember. i'm exhausted and sick (more sinus infection/cold type stuff) and want to just crawl in bed, but we have more meetings and work to do tonight, then PT at 6am, then work from 8-5...more of the same thing on friday, and volunteering all day sunday, possibly some on saturday...it just keeps going and going.

anyway, we found out that our first big project is in New Orleans. We'll be staying at Camp Hope and helping to run the camp, which is a place for volunteers like us to stay. I think we might also be running a warehouse for building supplies, so we're kind of indirectly helping to build houses. We deploy March 13th and return in mid May. Everyone in my group is pretty excited because Jazz Fest is in April and we hope to go/volunteer as much as possible for it.

i got the role of media representative for my team. it's definitely a lot of work, and i'm feeling a little nervous about it. it would be fine if i weren't already working at least 10 hours a day and having meetings and only having about an hour of free time per day, if that. but i don't have to worry about it for a couple more days.

maybe in the near future i will post a couple pictures. i have to make a brochure of our team to give to our projects sponsors, so i will have photos of all my team members.

i guess that's about all i can think of for now! i miss the family, especially the kids, but again, i'm doing well. just pray for me that i continue my enthusiasm and that my team can continue working together, and that we don't all get burnt out. this is an awesome program and i'm so glad i'm here.
