Spring Break... Howdey

         This spring break my youth group ( Okemos Community Church) and I went to Cosby Tennessee right in the middle of the Smokey Mountains.  On sunday we drove about 12 hours and got to sunset gab which was the organizer were you sleep and gives you a family to help. We went straight to bed when we got there. We were really tired. On Monday we got home cooked breakfast made by Nona who is the wife of the owner of sunset gap. The food was to die for.  Then we drove to the worksite. the worksite was a family's house and we got Francis's house. She lived there with her two grand children. She lived in a small trailer but they could not go into or leave there house easily. So, our job was to destroy her old pouches and build new ones. On Monday we just took apart the back deck and then went back, it took a while. On Tuesday we built part of the back deck and I learned hot to use a power saw. Fun. On Wednesday we finished both porches and painted the roof. I was scared at first but then I worked it . Then on Thursday we said our goodbyes to Francis and her grand children. It was sad leaving them because Francis told us that she wouldn't let her grand kids play on the porch or she couldn't drink her coffee on the porch. It made us feel better on what we have done. After we said goodbye we helped around sunset gap. Cheyenne, Emilee, and I got to ride in the back of a pick up truck and we almost feel out because he went over a huge bump and didn't close the trunk. We are ok now. I hope. Then we drove home on Friday seeing many interesting things. I think it was interesting because   all the houses there were in bad shape and it was a huge eye opener. It really changes how you look at life and changing life.
