Watch Out for the Nibbler!

Wake up call at 7:00! We all put on our cargos and boots and headed over to the dining hall for our "continental breakfast." We all learned bug spray was necessary after last night at the beach. We pulled up at the worksite and were told to get back in our vans. We ended up down the street from where we were yesterday at the double homes to move all the scrap to dumpsters to make it look more like a neighborhood than a scrap yard. We all became quick friends with the biting ants. Ouch! Some of us then went with Mr. Gower and Ms. Loyden to the warehouse and loaded up a moving truck. Lots of hard work was put into that! We all were reunited at our house on Union Street and began caulking and puting up siding on the house. LUNCH TIME! Around 12:00 we all came back to the seminary in the AC and ate lunch! After we ate like vultures (haha) we went back to the worksite. We made a new friend Ishaan who lives here in MS he will be working with us for the rest of the week to get all of his service hours for school. It is so great because none of his friends came but he still did! He instantly became part of the Prep family. Poor Shane and Jake... they were sent down the street to assemble bunk beds. Shane said in his reflection today that he has learned he will never buy bunk beds for his kids! With much talk of mohawks Mrs. Donnelly wanted none of that. The only compromise that was made that haircuts would only be allowed with permission of the moms. Mrs. Thomas responded without a second of hesitation, "NO!" The rest of the work day went smooth sailing. As the clouds moved in we kept on working. Around 4:15 we started to pack up and head out. We could not be more excited for showers. We ate like vulchres again at dinner and then had reflection in the dining hall. After going for a short walk- we went back to the dining hall for game night! Apples to Apples, Spoons, and the Name Game were quickly in action. we all are looking forward to what we have planned tomorrow. We are going to go to try some ice cream of the south which are more commonly known as snoballs!
Much Love from Mississippi,
