Oh my Ga, CCC was so awesome! I can't even describe how great it was, i would be able to do it with pictures, but smart one here forgot a camera, so hopefully my cmg will email me pics to be able to post for you. But it was so great, the first day we went to Arrie Ellis's house, who is the mayor of Earl, a town in lincoln county NC. and we did yard work, and painted her porch, and her house, but we didnt finish, then tuesday, we started our 2 day project, which was to fix rotted wood on this lady's porch and in her living room, and it was difficult because it was so much more work than expected with the porch, because the original builder of the porch had no idea what he was doing. but anyway, that took up tuesday and wednesday, then thursday, we got our last full day project, which was to pull up lanolium (sp) and lay new tile on a lady's kitchen floor. Well it was all good, except that the project was about an hour and 15 mins or so away, so we get there around 10:30, the people don't even talk to us, and once we pull up the lanolium, there's the sticky paper stuff stuck to the floor, well being unprepared for this, we start trying to peel it up with crowbars and stuff, (doesnt work very well) then Jason gets there around 1, gives us the wood, and the tiles, which were peel and stick, thank God, and we start laying boards, and we realize that we can't measure, and we cut alot of wood about an inch off, it was bad, but then by 3 we start tiling her floor, and sara and i end up doing most of the tiling, which i dont mind, but the fact that one of the people just sat there looking at me while i was doing it, but we still had a good time i guess, seeing as we got the job done, we didnt get back until 7:30 , and we're supposed to be back to camp no later than 5, and we didnt leave the work site till 6 15, hahaha, jason came to help us again though, but something happened when we were hooking the fridge back up, and a wire to her ice maker got cut, or broke or something, so on friday jason had to go back and fix it... oops. and then on friday, for our half day job's we got to go back to Arrie Ellis' house and finish her porch and house, it was so awesome because she was so funny! but i'll talk about the people now i guess, starting off was Chris, our camp director, he was goofy, and was good at conversation, but we didnt' get to talk much, Faith, was awesome, she was a Major group leader, and a funny, funny sweet girl, we're staying in touch, then Jason, who was my major group leader, we had our good conversations about his first year as staff, and my first year as a camper, and how he felt that i would be good at a staff member and encouraged me to apply. And he was just so awesome to talk to, and really inspiring too, he eneded up falling asleep friday night at one of the tables, it was cute. then Amanda, who was our program coordinator, who helped jason alot, and she was just really inspiring to me, and really sweet, can't wait to talk to her again, then Houston, who was such a dork, he's like the....uh, can't describe him, he's just very unique, and awesome though too, even though all of the girls, well not all becasue it wasn't me, were like all over him.... at GOD CAMP! it made me so mad, cus all they would do is flirt, then lets see, ramsey, our tools person, she was cool,but we didnt' really talk much unless she was reading a bed time story, or waking me up. haha. then Cameron, who was the first person i talked to i believe, i sat next to him at lunch, and come to find out he was in my cmg, or Christian mission group, who i was paired with all week to do the projects, he was cool, and hope we get together over the summer and hang out, and maybe go visit miss. ellis. then Sara, who was also in my cmg, and was such an awesome girl, i love her, and i hope we get together this week like we're planning, but if not, i'm gonna see her before she goes to college, then Thalia, who was also in my cmg, she was cool but said some oddball stuff, but we still love her. then Dennis, who goes to IPUM but we never really talked, and he was in my cmg, and was funny, cameron had a ball making fun of him all week, then george, who was our driver, who was awesome and helped us out so much this week. and then Matt, who was cool, he also goes to ipum, and we just hung out alot during the week too. Lauren who is cameron's sister, was awesome too, she was really nice and i enjoyed her company, we're gonna go to the mall one day, then allyson, who was katie's bunk buddy, but she and i shared some good warm fuzzy's on the board. then Kari, who was my bunk buddy, she was so funny and sweet, we prayed for eachother every night, and we just inspired eachother everymorning as we got up, it was great. well that's all i'm gonna write for now seeing as this to me seems like a novel already, but i just cant express how much fun i had, well gonna go! love ya'll
