Day 5...Is it Friday already?

Wow. I can't believe that Friday is already here.

This week can be summed up by one word... AMAZING.

We started the week with nothing but some flooring and a deck, and ended the week with a house.

It was a lot hard work, some that we don't get to do on a day to day basis, but the rewards of it is extremely satisfying. I've worked different aspects of the job during all the trips that I've attended and every time I still come back with this overwhelming feeling of enjoyment and appreciation that is shared with us.

Danny and Allison, the home owners, are wonderful people and were so appreciative of all the hard work that was put into building their home. They visited us often and shared stories, helped do some worked, and gave us all a great sense of true compassion for helping others.

The SEI team during this trip was a wonderful group of people to get know and share this wonderful experience. We may have come down as strangers, but we are definately coming back as friends.

Thank you to all of our supporters that have allowed us to come here once more and continue to help build this community.
