Muskogee, OK – Tuesday

Day 2 of work is in the books and HALLELUJAH, the sun finally showed up to Muskogee!

Today, members of the leadership team and I had the opportunity to go out and visit some of the work teams. There is a variety of jobs being done: roofing, decking, ramps, steps, painting and yard work. These students never cease to amaze me. Their dedication and talent surpass any expectations that we have of them. They are capable of so much, and it seems that they are just waiting for the opportunity to show us.

One of the sites we visited today was the house of an 80 year old woman who rarely leaves her house because the porch is so rotted that she might fall through it. By the end of this week, she’ll be able to come and go as she pleases without the danger of injury. I can only imagine the freedom that will bring!

Also, thanks to the sun, we were able to cut loose at a local pool today. It was wonderful stress relief for the students and adults. Hopefully this weather holds up!
