Well, today is our last day! Its been an exiting, busy week, full of all kinds of service, and, of course, fishing. As Savannah said, "This is the most fun I've ever had!"( I quite agree.)
Overall, it was a safe trip, save for one minor injury. (A sawhorse broke, and fell, scraping Kasey's leg.)
At Ms.Pierre's house, we made another discovery. There was a cabinet that had been nailed shut, and we managed to get it opened. The things in the cabinet weren't as old as the things in the attic (the things in the cabinet dated back to 1989, while the attic went to the 1960s.) Still, it was an exiting find, and Ms.Pierre was kind enough to let Jordan have one of the toys.
We re-painted the ceiling, painted the walls, and cleaned her kitchen. The boys put up a Wayne's Coat, and put trim on the top.
It was the return of the caulk. Kara and I caulked over the nails, and then we all re-painted the trim. [Ms.Pierre also made us a cake, which we brought back to the community center. It was VERY good. :) ]
After dinner, (Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas, and banana pudding that didn't make it to the end of the line.) we did what we always do. We went fishing.
We ended up splitting into two groups. One group was over by the bridge, the other group was on a pier that you had to walk through bamboo-like plants to get to.
I believe the first group caught a fish, (I'm not sure though.) but I think they threw it back.
The second group (the group I was in) almost caught a gator. And by "almost", I mean "he was two feet away from the pier." (He was going after the bobber on Kara's pole.) We ran. Quickly.
This morning, some of us returned to the dock, but the alligator was nowhere to be seen. (Thankfully.)
Our job today was to finish up the work at our respective job sites. Most people went to work on painting the gym, as the community center will have fifty children next week for Vacation Bible School. The rest of us cleaned up the dorm rooms, the bathrooms, and the commons area. After that was taken care of, it was time to go to our job sites.
We returned to Ms.Pierre's house, to clean up the house, pick up our tools, and leave her some information so she can finish her house. It was very sad, leaving her house. We unfortunatly didn't get to see her today to say good-bye, but we left her a note on her counter.
Now, everything is all packed up, and ready to go. The suitcases are waiting to be put in the vans, the sheets are off the beds, leaving them looking quite empty. Everyone is finishing up their jobs, and it is quite reluctantly that we say good-bye to Dulac (For now.)
[We expect to arrive at the church sometime between 3:00 and 4:00.]
