"Fun Facts" to think about today:  1.  Which team member is one of 11 children?  2.  This team member has trouble distinguishing between a pod and an ipod!  team members reading notes,

The team is growing more tired as the day gets long, but we are enjoying the generosity of those who fixed homemade meals for us.  We would especially like to thank Patty Arrington, Sue Hurley, Pam Lohr, Dotty Shepard, Ann Cholewinski and our very own Jane Stark for delicious meals/desserts that are easy to fix after a long hot day of work. 

We've learned that every team needs Freda Austin!!!  She made homemade pepperoni rolls for the ride to PS, and French apple dumpling dessert since we arrived.  Take away her hammer and give her a mixing bowl!!!

Number 1 quote of the day: "Well, at least the heads are right!"  Spoken by a team member who wishes to remain anonymous, when referring to the nail gun being jammed, but the nails had been loaded on the correct side.  Followed by a huge chuckle from our Construction Coordinator, Rick, saying "Can you hear God saying, 'Well at least I got the heads right!'"

Number 2 quote of the day:  "We didn't do it."  Spoken by everyone on the team, at one time or another.  Seems no one wants to take the blame for the busted water line that leaves us without water in our bunkhouse.

Number 3 qote of the day:  "NO!"  Spoken loudly by Laura to Don when he tried to do anything.  Apparently, Don was working too fast for Laura, so she put her foot down and made him listen up. 

Bob got a little too up close and personal with a nail gun today.  The edge of his finger came face to face with one of the nails!!  There may have been some blood dripping, but he continued to work.  Finally, they had to sit him down and do a little first aid.  It seems Freda has a souvenir of Bob's blood on her shirt.  Hmmmmm....... we've seen folks with autographed mission t-shirts, but this might be taking it a little far!!

Somehow Jason and Terri managed to have enough energy to play basketball on Monday, and a little tennis on Tuesday.  Don't get excited, there isn't a tennis or basketball court anywhere around.  However, PSBC has a large concrete slab between 2 buildings that doubles as a sports "complex".  It's amazing how creative you can get with the resources you have!!

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.  And a special thanks to those of you who wrote encouraging cards and notes to us.  You have no idea how refreshing it is to open a card from someone in our church family.  When you encourage us and tell us how you're praying for us, it's a huge boost for the team. 

Blessings to all!!

(Fun Fact Answers:  1. Freda Austin is the baby and 11th child in her family.  2.  Don Hutcheson has been known to confuse these two very different sized items!!
