Church Work Party

Yesterday we had a church work party for Immanuel Baptist Church. We are trying to fix up the old church to hopefully sell and help pay for the new church that is already built. We had a lot of jobs like painting, cleaning, framing, and foundation work to be done. Lyndsey and I got there bright and early with mama Verboomen to help start the work party. We originally signed up for painting but all the painting jobs were taken so we tackled the creepy upstairs attic room filled with inches of dust and cobwebs. To be honest with you I feel so at peace in old houses like that or rooms that others might get the hebegebees I just feel comfortable. I used the shop vac to go along the walls and get all the cob webs and suck up all the dirt that fell between the cracks in the old hard wood floor. I found 100 year old tiles, really old bobby pins , and a little kids toy that was at least 50 years old. I enjoyed doing a job and seeing the finished product. This is something I am not use to as much anymore due to not being able to have a "real job!"

This picture we took while we were eating lunch in the pews of the old sanctuary. I think its cute because with me in my camo and Lyndsey with her hood on it looks as though we might be without a home and trying to dry off from the rain for a hot meal at the mission. We made the best of it and had lots of fun helping out the church. We left early because we had way too much black stuff coming out of our noses and we were a bit grossed out. I know that was a little too much information but hey its still coming out today.

Lyndsey is one of those people you could sit and talk with for hours and never get bored or run out of things to talk about. We are a lot a like in the way that we love people, love talking, and love experiencing new things. I can see Lyndsey and I in the future really coming together and being quite a force to be reckoned with. I love her and cant wait to call her my sister one day. All in all the church work party was more than just a day to put in my time and help. It was another great day to spend with friends and family, another day I am grateful for god giving me to be here to write to you!
