Sunday

Today, we worked for only half a day, but we still got a lot done. My job this time was working with four others to relocate a couple classrooms. We moved the 5th grade class from one of the older buildings into Room 3 of the new building (Rooms 1 thru 5 are downstairs. Room 6 is upstairs, above Room 1. Room 7 (above 2 and 3) is the computer lab, and Room 8 (above 4 and 5) is the library). We numbered all the desks (in order to try to keep the same seating arrangement) and moved them over. We then took the bookcases and the teacher's desk over, followed by everything that was on the walls. A lot of things were fastened to the wall with thumbtacks. In order to pry them off the wall without ripping their decorations (all of which were either paper or cardboard), I ended up prying the thumbtacks loose with a straight-edge screwdriver, then gripping them with a pair of pliers and yanking them out.
We got the old 5th grade room emptied out and completely cleaned, and then we moved the class that was next door into the now empty room. We did not take anything off the walls, for the sake of time, but we got all the desks, chairs and bookcases moved over.
Meanwhile, in the new building, we got all the vinyl soffet up in Room 4 and have just begun on Room 5. We got the rest of the drop ceiling tracks put in upstairs, and we have installed all but a few lights.
We stopped work at noon, and after lunch, we came back to the hotel. We hung out here and rested in the afternoon, and after having a chicken dinner brought to us, we went to church. It was a great time, even though I barely understood anything that was said.
After church, we came back to the hotel, got pictures up on the website (www.disciplemakers.org) and posted some good comments.
I am tired and going to bed. Talk to you all tomorrow.
