from laura :) i have a tendency to get extremely messy when doing mudding. it was hot, but fun.  Yesterday's drive was long and loud. I was in the van with Jessica and Tracy. It's very tiring.

from Nikki Jo... yesterday the trip down here was long sometimes kinda difficult, but it wasn't bad.  the sleep was good but i did not like the storm while we were on the bridges.  today we painted the food bank, it was super hot but we could go inside in the ac if we got to hot.  we went inside to eat lunch, they kept giving us stuff like free food and beads! =)  they were very nice and told us stories about Katrina.  it was a very good time im looking foward to what is going to happen the rest of the week.

from David Rainwater... I'm awsome
